I have the Trader tow-truck, drives OK, goes about 2 feet in 1st gear, gonna be fun on the dirt Grumpy, pretty savage understeer.

After your effort of trying to get yourself killed on the dirt road last year by your usual tail gating and driving on the wrong side of the road beside me
I will be bringing a cattle prod to remind you of safe driving practices
Understeer, that's how cab over trucks drive

The new injectors turned up yesterday.
Just for a laugh , I get home yesterday park the wagon across the street. when I get back in to move it into the drive I find that the ignition barrel has carked it and it won't start at all," hey!, I'm buying a TOW TRUCK!"....turns out the guy I bought the truck from works at Deer Park wreckers..."yeah , we've got 'em for forty bucks, and we've got free delivery" so I might as well get the a/c blower motor as well...that car has stolen $1000 out of the racing budget in recent times.....
