Wheels first otherwise you won't be going far, secondly steering - it's alright to go straight ahead for a while but it gets boring after awhile, thirdly the brakes (feet).
Well I have my billy cart.Cheers, Beddo

Hi folks:
Using the principles of "lateral thinking", as preached by Dr Bono, I mentally composed a list of all the bits I would leave off my 4WD. The remaining bits would then be the most important. I then found there was nothing I could leave off .. Conclusion: They are all important for the function they perform ... none more important than the other, yet all equally important.
Do I win the prize?????
Did I hear someone coughing in the background???????
Whaddya mean you are witholding my prize money??????
Cheers and safe travels
Jack

I'll just add my Two Cents Worth.
The Engine can run with less than the amount of Cylinders It had.
The Gearbox can still move the Vehicle if you can get at least one gear.
You can still Move with A Flat Tyre/Tyres.
If it's a 4WD, You can still move with a Buggered Diff.
If your Radiator Blows and your vehicle OverHeats, You can move again after it's cooled down.
But What Happens if you run out of oil? What Happens if your Oil Filter Blocks Up.
If You Run Out Of Oil Or Your Filter Blocks Up, You Aint Gonna Move.
So, How do get around a problem like that?
Just My Two Cents Worth. (Do I Get Change?)

Well if its diff oil your missing you can always revert to the age old practice of stuffing the diff full of banana peel,,makes for a lovely quiet diff,,permanently quiet after 200 odd ks. :)
