V for Vendetta sticker has now been fitted. Just a front brake hose and a bit of insurance and all will be well (again).

More adventures of VUF today.
The long section of exhaust had split where the backbox slides over it and it was looking somewhat pockmarked and there were a couple of small holes here and there. I took VUF down to my friends place and we put her on the 4 post lift. The exhaust pipe could have been welded but a replacemnt tube of slightly heavier guage was purchased for the heady sum of £11.50. We put a couple of slight bends in the new tube and all was well. Whilst VUF was up in the air I took the opportunity to unbolt the rear earth strap, clean it all up and refit it. I noticed that on the O/S (to the side of the belt, near the rear) there were two rubber pipes and one had come off. I refitted it without any drama. VUF was pushed into service today, buzzing here and there and a great day was had. She ran much more happily with a leak free exhaust!! I then spent the rest of the day helping my mate with the Panhard Taxi, cleaning out the sump and so on. Very relaxing stuff.

The better running was probably more effected by putting that pipe back on. Thats one of the vario vacuum pipes. With it off whenever you opened the throttle it would have taken a nice big gulp through that pipe weakening up the fuel air mixture
