I will mate don't worry :)

My mates driving I am playing bitch, so il have my camera on me. Hopefully will be wet and muddy, that's what we are hoping for. Get the boggers into there territory :)

As long as nothing major breaks should be good fun, some of the other lads going have serious bits of kit, v6 lj ECT !!! :)

When it comes back I am going to sit it my dads storage unit for a while. I have started to get a bit bored with it recently. So I thought leave it for a bit and then come back to it. Mod it a bit maybe, then have a to at some challenges. Sitting it up for a while will save me money which I can plough into it later this year.

Well today couldn't have gone any worse.

Rear caliper exploded, front two seized.

I have run out time so I can't go this weekend. Really had enough of this poxy thing now.

store it for a while and gradually sort any little niggles. Will give you some time to chill out and not start to hate the ZOOK

Theres a determined statement. Hope you get eveything sorted.

Don't know how you're going to move your Zuk in that snow.

It's fixed, I nicked Paul's caliper from his silver suzuki (the mental coiled one)

So where all good to go now :)

Just need to bleed the brakes, air up the tyres. And away we go.

I even have spares now thanks to Paul :)
