Thanks to all you good guys out there
Managed to have a chat to the guy with the magnum, got some reassurance & went to collect it tonight.
130 miles of home - faultlessly.
Thanks Lads

In my best Harry Enfield voice " O you didnāt wanna go and do that"
All the best with it toytown, Know stop mucking about on here and get the trailer sorted,
Then thereās the ramp
And the awning
to sort the list goes onā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
And your lass to keep happy while all this is going on,
And the pics, we need the pics! What are you messing about at man!
Hi M8,
Keeping āer indoorsā happy is easy. She is already taking about carpeting the floor, polishing the dash & storing untold junk under the bunk
Trailer is a project for when the unit is sorted (cleaned / repaired airbag / exhaust blow & tarting with stripes & oddments )
Best pic i can do right now is a dark one, but the lights work

in it,WELL SMART LOOKING MOTOR, I am sure you will enjoy owning her too. They run like a QUARTZ CLOCK them Magnums WELL DONEā¦AND GOOD FOR YOUā¦
Oh, my quartz clock has been running fine. I must have bought a really good oneā¦
When Isaid quartz clock rob Imeant it in a nice way mate,if you by a motor where I live and someone says āIt runs like a quartz clockā That means you have bought a blinding motor! and NOT a lemmon,Hope that clears that up mate Toneā¦

CONGRATULATIONS you have made the right choice,the magnum is a great truck and your now lucky enough to own 1
What a positive buch of peeps you all are
You all offer advice on what to buy
Then help me decide
Then back up everything you have said with more words of encouragement
I will not bore you with a mile by mile account of the journey home, suffice to say that the smile was still there when i woke thismorning
Came home early today (3:30) & took the front grille out, the front cab suspension is operated seperately on each side & the n/side levelling switch is duff. Pumps up ok but doesnāt exhaust the air when itās time to come back down. Simple job, will ring about switch tomorrow
Being so pleased with it myself is great, but when itās made others happy too ā¦ well isnāt that the icing on the cake
Now SERIOUSLY ā¦ Iām not sure what I should do ā¦
If i post a blow by blow account of itās transformation - I might become a pain in the ā ā ā ā here
If I donāt post anymore about it - that looks ungrateful for all the help you guys have given me
What do i do
I know ā¦ I know ā¦ naff of Toytown
Well I for one have enjoyed your account of the buying process of your toy so donāt see why you shouldnāt continue to sell your stories. If people donāt want to read it then they donāt have to open the thread!
Congrats mate and keep the posts coming, I for one think its a very interesting project!!
Regards
Kev
Yep, I agree with Martā¦ They dont have to open the thread if they dont want to read itā¦
So keep the storys coming Toytown. Iād certainly like to read about its transformation, and more pics would be good tooā¦
Might even give some of us some inspiration to undertakle a project like thisā¦(nah, wake up and smell the coffee Andy!!
)
OK ā¦ se how long it takes before somebody tells me to shut up about this magnum
Will try to get one or two decent pics tomorrow, then it can be updated as i get there
