Tonny's 2001 Tahoe build

[Tonny]

Is that a Shelby?

Not a real one... But it's cool. Chassis is off now. Was about to getting a 3.5 v8 supercharged but they decided different now and it's getting a propper engine, 350

Rico building his own 350 for his Silverado

And my engine bay, I really looking forward to the LPG delete because it will clean up a lot!

Yeah, that looks a bit busy.

Yeah, previous owner choose the cheapest one and in my opinion the worst brand for big engines, BRC. In fact it are two 4 cilinder units with one evaporator. The units on top are the injectors for example. Two computers, left and right. Hoses for the gas, wires etc.

Whoa whoa whoa back up, that polar bear was actually in your yard?

It’s a photoshop. Lol

Just the actual poop is, you can tell it’s fake if you zoom in real close and really look hard.

Going a little of topic myself then, thought it has a bit of America with it;

Today I went to the storage to get my sisters motor. A 95 Yamaha XJ 600 S or as called in the US, a SECAII. Not sure if it’s imported, because it got on license since 02-06-1995. But it’s not that they are rare here, the ones with SECAII or J 600 S on it. It has a MPH unit though!

My sister and I got our motorcycle licenses just when the season stopped. Only rode about 150 miles after that. Did proper maintenance just before it went in storage and today I got the covers on a took it for a proper rip! Rides great again.

From this:

To this, needs a proper detail though

Previous week we had snow, where ice skating and drifting with the Tahoe, today is was like 15 degrees Celsius

Nice! I’m a Harley man myself. I haven’t ridden much since a major accident on my bagger. I still have a custom Nightrod that I built.

Yeah I saw that, you’ve sick build! Shit about that accident though. I don’t really know what kind of brand I will like. But I want something light and nimble, so a 2010/11 Triumph. Street Triple 675 (R) is on the list, but because of the setbacks in 2020 it will be 2022 before I will buy one. But the positive side is that I can use my sisters Diversion as much as I want as long as she doesn’t need it! Had a great time today, riding now a proper running motorcycle. She bought it for 500 Euro and I did a proper maintenance including a new rear tire and a newly covert seat for €350 ish euro. So for €850 you can have a vehicle that is faster then 95 procent of the cars until 100mph love my new hobby! Really nice bike to learn on. Though our lesson motors where actually faster, naked 2012s Yamaha XJ6n.

I was wondering why I was hobbling so much... I’m fair to so say I’m lucky that I did not get a blown tire. Will ride the motorcycle from now until new tires come on my new rims.

Well they already had some dry marks when I bought the Chevy in 2019, almost 2 years ago now. I think they are pretty old! But I found this out Saturday, while Friday I had it on the lift and checked the front tires and one had a bobble on it, so I already decided to leave the Chevy alone until new tires come. But I had to use the Chevy because I had all my detailing gear at my client, but that is like half a mile true village.

I already knew about he wear of the tires, was just pushing it since I've had a burn-out and hadn't worked for months. Got a new house in between and wanted to do this with the new MOT for 30 april 2021.

I've been riding the Chevy like a BMW lately, trowing out the back in every corner where save to do so.

But it is fair to say that I'm on the line of having to sell my Hoe, so I'm doing whatever I can do to get financial stable again. Im lucky that I've enough work, but the burn-out takes time so unfortunately I can't work 7 days a week atm..
