Yesterday I ticked off a small job in that the bolts securing the fuel filler neck were missing. Not exactly a strenuous job to sort that one. https://i.ibb.co/KDsYGqW/IMG-20230520-155735.jpg Likewise fitting a replica tax disc - just feels odd not having one in the windscreen, so may as well make i...

Had a spare half hour today after the rain had moved on so set about investigation of the oil leak. A full top end gasket set is on the way, but I'd like to get a better idea for certain of where this is coming from. The gasket set includes everything needed to do the head gasket - which I'll likely...

While the trip home was pretty awful we got there eventually. Of course that means it's time to get stuck back into this. https://i.ibb.co/PTsS5xH/IMG-20230516-162637.jpg Spot the difference. https://i.ibb.co/rbJs7W2/IMG-20230516-162338.jpg First new door seal is in. Looks a bit healthier. https://i...

Love the rover, what a fabulous car.. if I remember correctly you will be off to America shortly? Will you be coming back with something interesting? Yep. Getting here was a debacle in itself - mainly thanks to Air France being their usual completely ineffectual selves and Paris Airport being a com...

Was out yesterday for the first time in decent weather. Car has done its first errand run in the family, a dog food run to cover while we're away. https://i.ibb.co/T25fGp6/IMG-20230507-123640.jpg Has to be said it was far more pleasant driving it when I could actually see where I was going! I've dri...

Ooh, I love those, my dad and several family friends had one back in my yoof. That cabin's a lovely place to be isn't it? What model is it. 90, 100 or 110? I'll be watching this with interest! It is rather a nice place to be. This one is a 110. -- -- -- I absolutely did not set out this week to buy...

Full report later, but despite absolutely torrential rain the whole two and a half hour drive back from Bristol (plus a bit) which judging from the number of broken down cars we saw had claimed several victims, the new acquisition didn't miss a beat the whole way home. https://i.ibb.co/CvG2Scp/IMG-2...

Literally have bags mostly packed for heading abroad at Oh God o'clock on Monday morning.

So why on earth am I setting out on a collection mission at 8am tomorrow morning?

Oh yeah... because I'm crazy. That's right. Nearly forgot.

So this is the camera my Dad used for all our photos when growing up and he developed and printed them himself .. he made a frame that sat over our bath and that became the dark-room. Woe betide anyone wanting a "tinkle" when he was in full flow though!! That's a nice looking little camera, at a gl...
