I believe this thread is missing a video of it running

I meant to do one last week, might get around to it this week Sounds like an old MAC truck underload.

That is a super cool truck. And my wife likes it! I'd love one, if only my garage was bigger!

Cheers, our lass wasn't too happy about the purchase, but she's since changed her mind.

Meanwhile not much has been done work wise. However I did have a tarp made for the back. Trial test fitting, not bad me thinks

Looking very nice Dave, all you need now is to smuggle some of my home brew under that tarp

Got the US Title back from the shippers the other day, so drove through to DVLA in Beverly, god knows how people are going to find out, or get help, when they ALL shut in Nov.

So I'll have a age related plate in the next couple of weeks. I did search for the US plate, BKJ 371: it was Issued around 1937, I also found out it was on a Beetle stolen sometime in 2009. I've searched more but can't find if it's been taken back by the DVLA (The thought of calling them to ask is horrifying)

So I'm unsure as to what I'll get

Looks like I best pull my finger out and make some beer! I was waiting for the hops to ripen but I may be waiting for a while now the weather's turned. I think I have the OK from SWMBO for brewing on Sunday. Should I make an American IPA or a good traditional bitter?

 

[Shox Dr]

WTF is an USA IPA

Any beer, is good Beer. (Unless Darleys brewed it)

 

[brewdexta]

Here you go - one US IPA
Tried it in Atlanta, not pasteurized or force carbonated, a bit OTT on the hops but better that bud/coors crap any day of the week

I do remember Darley's.... it was a bit errr.... manky?

 

[Shox Dr]

The first pint of Darleys I bought, an old guy sat in the corner said quietly, but loud enough to be heard.

'tha'll regret that lad'

He was right, I spat it out.

The IPA sounds nice, but I prefer a good Brit Pint

Nice truck Dave, definitely one for running the moonshine back from brewdextas in
