Holy Blimey O' Crikey...........
Its been since the start of july since i wrote anyhting about this ol' shed.

time flies and all that, it still goes and its still relaible (touches LOTS of wood)

It will need tyres and some welding for the MOT in February time. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Have a pic, for no apparent reason.

I just wanted to say............

new tyres are the dogs cock. Ive been sliding about on worn out nankangs for a while now and pulled my finger out my Butt and fitted the toyos. Holy cow, it goes where you point it, brilliant. Only drawback it seems slower cos' you cant spin the wheels up in the wet very easily now.

I celebrated by doing a service and new wiper blades.

A - series are definitly the only car you need.

Nah, the wheels might be firmly planted on the right side of the road, but the upper corners of the roof will be WELL over the line...

I know how naughty that van is. With a Rick-rebuilt rack and four brand new dampers, it was GREAT fun - especially on Mich 145s.

When i left for work at 6.35 it was nothing on the ground and barely coming down. Get to work, park up, look outside in half an hour its done this.....bloody weather.

I wish my dodge was already road legal for some RWD carpark V8 action.

Last night coming home, down the back lanes, involved very... judicious... use of the right hand pedal.
