Car Tuning Clinic

We have not yet had the truck running at it's best so it was time for a trip to the Car Tuning Clinic in Edinburgh. It was a chance to see what gets done to tune an engine. The carbs needed a bit of attetion as I had not quite put them back together correctly. oops. The Timing was out and so it was starting to sound better. Then the fuel pump was tested. It was only pumping out 3psi instead of the 6psi it should. So the carbs were getting starved of fuel. Next was the ignition system which needed further investigation. So the truck is still there today and it will get more tests done to figure out what's up.

On the Rolling road.

Hopfully I'll find out later today what I have to do next.

SRA Trainers Role

I have just taken on the role as the Scottish Rafting Association Training Officer. I hope I can get even close to the commitment of my predisessor Steve Thomas. I'm looking forward to the role and I hope I can continue to develop what is already a world renowned scheme. I'll see you on the water.
In the mean time enjoy these pics from the past and check out the SRA website.

Wedding and Quads

Last weekend we were at Tim and Vicky's wedding down in Manchester. It was a great party in the Art Gallery and a great oportunity to not only catch up with Tim and Vicky and enjoy their day but also to see Ben, Bob and Ally who I worked with at Pyranha. This week we also managed to get a day off together and I finally took Jax Quad Trekking. Something she has wanted to do for ages.

A quick call to my mate Ali and we were on. This is a trek site I used to lead Treks on about 10 years ago so it was great to go back up there with views of Loch Tay and Ben Lawyers. Thanks Ali for letting us play on the quads. Check out this link to Ali's website for all the other stuff he does as well as quadding.

Looking out over Loch Tay and Ben Lawyers still has some snow.

Blue Skies and playing on quads. Cool

The streams were not very deep thanks to the nice weather.

The Wedding was in Manchester's Art Gallery. A perfect place for Tim and Vicky. The evening was very well suited to them. Congratulations and they should currently be having fun in Africa. Enjoy.
