DOKA RESCUE PART THREE

And this is the third part of the rescue! After a couple of hours the cargo section has been digged up and was free from debris...


Antonio, the optimistic one of the group expected the work to be finished after just two hours and he felt dissapointed...


The doka ready to be freed form the mud and stones washed away by the floods:

Then Antonio had an idea....


Trying hard but mission impossible except for Kiko Mandarria, who was witnessing the scene ...


Better to tow her out of the ditch...

More soon...

DOKA RESCUE PART TWO!

This is the second part of the Doka Club newest adventure....first dig up the cargo section and remove the spare engine loaded there...



here we can see the work in progress, the doka almost unburied and the engine out...


I think this one needs a lot of cleaning!!!

More pics soon...!!!

BURIED BUT RESCUED!!!!

Part of the Doka Club had some hard work last weekend: to dig up this doka victim of the latest floods we have sufered in the island. It seemed to be left parked in a small ravine where the water washes her away....




Here we can see Kiko, the strongests of the members, picturing how to dig up the poor doka, not a problem for his muscles we suppose..
More pics and the rest of the story coming soon....

IF ANYONE FALLS... THE MIRRORS TRAGEDY

last Saturday I went to Zeben´s to fix the new side mirrors for Gloria. They were shinning and brand new, ideal to replace the old rusty ones...


Here we can see Zeben in the process od unscrewing the old one...

..to be replaced by the shinning wonders.... the problem is that the passenger one broke the nut in an unfair way as soon as we started screwing the bolt !!! And the driver´s one can´t stand still in its position, moving downwards all the time as wind pushes it down while riding!!! What a crap of stuff they made in Mexico!!!! Never again!!! 70 Eus dropped to the litter...
