Introducing Ugly Beddy

[Greg]

Hi Folks

I have finally purchased my first Beddy. Have been keeping an eye on this site for awhile now and very impressed with the attitude of all users. There is obviously alot of Beddy knowledge within these pages and all so willing to share. A credit to all.
Picked up the Beddy in Tammin WA, was on Ebay.

What a trip, about 2 hours there, jump in and head home. Run out of fuel 2 kms from the nearest fuel station. Had to buy a jerrycan ($37) as well as fuel ($10). Then back up the road, fuel her up then back to the servo for another $40 fuel. Alright home, here we come.
10kms from home, get a flat front tyre. No worries, have a spare and a jack in the back. Jack's buggered, call the missus to bring the trolley jack. Get the wheel off go and grab the spare and find the spare is a ford rim to suit rear wheels, the front is obviously a bedford rim.
Spend the next 3 hours trying to remove a tyre I had at home and fit to the bedford rim. got it on to find it wouldn't seal. Put a tube in, tube was stuffed.
Anyway, finally got her home on a half flat tyre. 10 1/2 hours all up.

Hopefully the rest of my travelling will be just as eventful !

Needs a lot of work but should be fun.

At the moment she's Ugly Beddy !!
