  1. Thanks for the comments chaps, much appreciated.
  2. Cheers, Yeh - proves I can still do it - sadly it still seems like work.
  3. :red: I can understand the traders side all too well, having hauled my own trade stand around various shows, but I'm British - I've got to have a moan about something - even when things are going well !
  4. A big hand must go to all the guys/galls that turned up and put on a good display. Although I think splitting up the period traders from the Military display was not a good move - personally prefering last years layout. I was a little disappointed with the racing though : maybe it was the cold wind making it feel like October, or maybe it was more emphasis on single seater cars this year and a tad less sports and saloons - which didn't have the battles I saw last year. (I see as single seaters as glorified go-karts and believe real racing cars should have doors). Still a good day's outing non-the-less - and I didn't get stuck in the mud either.
  5. Sunday only for me, I'm afraid. It was a Brilliant Event last year, and I have been really looking forward to it, but after this afternoons thunderstorms and lots of rain, I fear the racing might be called off. But I'll still be trundling down tomorrow, and if I get stuck in the field parking area I hope someone is kind enough to haul me out.
  6. Just think, when it's finished it could be worth $175,000, like this one.... I wouldn't mind a set of those wheels and tyres on my bug !
  7. When I was a nipper, I dug up the remains of a Mauser machine pistol from our back garden. Rusted solid, with no grips - I was the bees-knees with the other kids, each wanting to swap their new Lone Star Chrome Colt pistols for it. Can't remember what finally happened to it.
  8. BRILLIANT !!....I'm still working on plans to build a rep Kubel.
  9. :-D From the map it looks like you went right past my house !!! - not a bad day for it, although that wind was cold.

    BBC News item

    ...Regards using reflective marked vehicles on the highway... If you work within Highway/Motorway areas, or Large Engineering Complexes your vehicle must comply with EEC Directive Chapter 8 (ECE104) and must be fitted with Amber Beacons, relective chevrons to rear, and perimeter reflective striping as part of Health and Safety. That's why my work vehicle is marked thus..... keeps the tailgaters off my back, at least !!
  11. I think all vehicle scrapyards are great. I could spend hours just mooching through rusty tin. They're like 'theme parks' for old petrol-heads. (Until you get chased out by the owners!)
  12. Hello, me again. A pal emailed this to me today. With all the doom and gloom around, this was a ray of sunshine.... Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle. From a local daily comes this story of a Walsall couple who drove their Land Rover to Asda, only to have it break down in the car park. The husband told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car. The wife returned later to see a small group of people around the vehicle. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of hairy legs protruding from underneath. Unfortunately, although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned his private parts into glaringly public ones.. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by. The RAC mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead
  13. Yes, already sent him an email, wanting to know what is there and what is missing. The restored chassis on the same site, would be nice too.
