Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Can you get one of the guys to put your blazer on their manifest inside a C-130?

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Oh, IT LIVES! Notice in the pic the alternator fan is blurry 'cause it's spinning. Still need to tweak the timing and idle settings, but for just WAG-ing it, she runs perty good.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Can ship one on their dime. Another would be up to us. Tossing around a few different plans--may sell hers and pick up something for her over there. I'm concerned about being able to maintain the Blazer in Europe due to parts availability, not to mention the size of parking spots. Would be cool to have the only one on the island though...

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
I lived in England for a few years - don't move anything you don't really need. Even furniture here will be a hard fit in the tiny houses over there. We had to move a sofa into the first house by going through the neighbors yard, over the fence and through the (removed) kitchen window. Queen beds barely fit in the large bedroom, and I couldn't lie down any way except diagonally in the smaller bedrooms...
And, as you already know, parking spaces are tiny. The other fun bit - crawling across the seats to get a parking receipt in a lot. You'll enjoy it - I miss the pubs ![]() |

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Haha- sorry, fellas. Life is hectic these days. Hopefully be able to get the final tweaks in and post some completed pics soon.
On a side note- fairly sure this one is on the chopping block ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Moving sucks.... My job has caused us to move almost every year for the past 5 years or so in an effort to go to the projects my company has going on all over... Its kind of cool in the beginning because you get to see and experience so much but after a while it just got old for us.
