Oh and then ther was the time that the fan belt snapped on the cruiser underground.

That was a simple fix, grabbed a calico sample bag from the tray, tore it into strips, and viola, a custom fan belt.

That of course meant that whilst it was turning the water pump a little it wasnt enough, so we stopped every so often to let the ole girl cool down. The alternator was also left out of the loop, so to speak.

So then the battery died not long later, so we drove the last half with our heads out the window with our cap lamps on.

It was a slow trip up.
