like a true pikey, was doing a small job yesterday and there was a cast iron bath tub going spare, bit of copper and brass taps! no problem for the heap to carry.

A nice addition to my secret stash

Cast iron bath, now they do weigh a bit!

Were you a proper man like me and remove it in one piece Si??

Looks broken up in the boot

Gives it a cool ride height.

When its that low it triggers the SLS warning! No Rog it was smashed into 2 big bits and heavy enough.

When we did our bathroom we had a cast iron tub and it weighed 120 kilos! i took it out whole i think, but not on my own

Top tatting!
Ive had two complete M52 engines in the boot of mine, but like a true executive tatter the SLS brought the ride height back up and I didnt get pulled by the old bill

My bro is now continuing the theme -

Beginner.

In my Compact I had an M44 and box, rear axle, front struts, zorst, wings, prop, four alloys, rad as well as a trolley jack and toolbox. I did remove the rear and front passenger seat.

Well the old girl was loaded on a trailer last night or this morning, 1 o clock!! And is now on its way to scotland where its fate is unknown but shes leaves with T&T

Sold to another Zoner? You could at least have given it a quick polish!

He's brave but not that brave !!

It is with pride that I announce myself as the proud new owner. After buying a 911, I'm running my existing 525 IX as a daily driver and either the lpg setup will be swapped onto this one or the good bits from this one will be swapped onto mine.

Good luck & well done Colin

Given I use road muck instead of wax to protect the paint on my daily's , I advised Simon that his offer to wash it was kind but not necessary.

I suspected it may have been you that bought it, but didn't want to say. Good luck with it - I'm sure it will come in useful.
