I had some dramas today.
I learned something. Never walk away from a preselector after you have just started it after 2 years or so.
That's exactly what I did and paid the price.
She decided to go for walkabouts.
No major damage to the bus or the carport but plenty to my wits.
John Lidstone
she's keen to get going again Norm!
Stuart Brown
Doh!
At least you learnt something

What actually happened was I connected the batteries up and jumped on the bus.
I switched it on and started it.
It started basically straight away.
I then got off the bus to check something.
Within a minute or so she started creeping forward.
I managed to jump on and get in the drivers seat and applied the brake.
Not before it scrapped the side of the carport with the doors open and made a hell of a noise.
My daughter jumped up to see what the bang was.
Andrew Blacklock
it must build air up then ok. lol
Norman Julian
Yes and no, Andrew.
Carle Gregory

Garth Taylor
Oh bother!
John Lidstone
phew, glad nothing worse happened.

The red paint is off one of the carport posts.
