It has to be said that the power of the SYKE is strong at the minute - probably due to the weather being gloriously sunny and just plain pleasant. A fine time to be out on the grit for the afternoon before rolling into work at 7PM feeling battered but elated that yet another project has been dispatched you would think. Unfortunately for me the current spell of glorious weather has also arrived at the time where shit needs to be done like obtaining van insurance and other assorted things that can only be done during the day as that is when normal people work.
It has to be said that it's a real ball ache having to hunt around to get a decent price for these things and even more so when the usual comparison websites don't come up with a better price immediately. However thanks to modern technology you can get a few ideas of who to ring for a modified van quote that will not be the monetary equivalent of rape. Anyway the van insurance will be in the bag by tomorrow night at a whacking £150 cheaper than the renewal quote.
From there it is the start of organising my brothers stag do which is less than 2 months away . We have a plan and now my poor credit card is going to have to start putting it into action - I feel for my credit card.
One really good thing was that I got the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation - a bloody stupid idea at the best of times) blanked off on the van. Took about an hour and the difference is amazing - I have something that could be called torque below 2000 revs now. Bloody brilliant mod and on the grand scale of expense that the van has been at times it was worth every part of the seven odd quid it cost me for the plate and the sealant. It is so good it almost makes it worth while not being able to go climbing...
