Are the mods going to delete the old post about deleting posts? 

May be waiting for this vote to decide if they are allowed to. 😂

First one didn't work, then?🤣

Returning home from Kings Lynn Stock cars and must have got carried away. 

Know the route very well but I'm not normally driving.

47 in a 40.  Long while since I had my last classroom stint.

Hope I get  chance of another.

Lundy was 68 when he won the final at Sheffield in June 2022 so he is either 70  or very nearly 70. 

Sir John.

I was 67 at my last go. I'm not getting in a stock car again.

Auto grass?  never say never, but my knee is a bit dicey these days, and I enjoy being able to walk.

From the world bollard association twitter page.

I saw that in Liverpool on the 27 March.

Couldn't decide if it was accidental, or an advertising gimmick. Hazards were still going.

What colour top will be be as iirc he was s/s when he retired so red or blue??

Retired as red, I think s/s was year before?        Guaranteed red due to being European champion. Not sure how his points were at that time.

Had to get a new licence, not sure if he's got a temp, or season one, same number 788. 

Asked if he could start blue. and Bunter laughed and said no. So red it is then.

Can be better from the back, especially in a strange car. Never driven a TMR before, always Randell/TLF.

I'm a little worried he may do well. It's a qualifying round for the Word of Shale, and may not end here if he has points in the bag.

Is Hazel and others who are affected keeping any sort of log/diary for future reference?

There's one neighbour who keeps a decent log on here.

Been quiet for a good while, built a spare Yaris over winter.  Raced a couple of Autograss meetings for Amelia recently.  Ste's wife, Hannah has won a race or two.

Reason for this posting is I've just been told the Stephen will race an F2 at Kings Lynn on Saturday 6th April.

We were going watching, it's a big F1/F2 meeting. But a hire car was on offer,  so £550  and on you go. ( plus licence and whatever, he's not booked in yet).

Last time he raced an F2 was well over 2 years go. It's good to watch him, but I thought the worrying was over for me.

Next day,  Amelia races a Yaris at Nottingham Autograss, on the way back, which is much more sedate.

I'm doing the exercises etc but yeah - mine wasn't totally stuffed and it hurts at times if I overdo it or try to grab something at an angle it doesn't like.  Hope you make a full recovery

It's my left arm and I'm right handed so lucky in that respect I can raise it too which they said wouldn't happen.

Couldn't drive for a while, thought I'd need an auto but I've overcome it. Can climb in and out of the pit now. 

Still have the elastic on my house doors but never use it.

Stick some photos up of your other doings after the MOT.

There  are quite a few on here with smallholdings.  Spartacus, RIP, would often show us cars, streams, hens, tractors, rock climbing.

(too much elbow grease for me to undertake...........had an accident in january and hurt my rotator cuff)?

You have my sympathy. It hurts a bit*

Completely tore mine,  It's much better now than they expected.

This story certainly escalates quickly!

https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2024-03-24/man-loses-home-after-spending-thousands-on-novelty-private-number-plate

Man buys a numberplate for his wife and pays £15k all from inheritance that he has been told is worth £30k.

Wife dies.

Tries to sell plate and finds out it's not worth anywhere near what he thought.

He gets cancer.

Loses home with everything in storage and now on benefits. 

 

 

I mean poor guy but at the same time I'm always amazed how gullible people are. Why would someone be selling something at a massively cut price if it's "worth more"?

Whilst he spaffed 15K on something worth maybe 5K, and shit happens at times.

I fail to see the connection to losing his home.

I feel he may have poorly organised other things in his life along the way.

Already done, wouldn’t leave that whilst I was up there.

+10 points to @Mally, the battens are rotten. I’ve shored it up to keep the worst of the rain out and will have to phone for a responsible adult next. Happy days.

I've got a Bungalow, same tiles as you.  Had a slight leak, felt was split in the loft.

Cost me 6K for a new roof. 

47 minutes ago, Rust Collector said:

I’m in a bungalow so I’ll be able to get to those easily on a ladder without going on the roof itself.

If the battens have let go then I wonder if there’s another issue at play. On the other side of the roof it’s solid, as I’ve walked on that a few times to get to the chimney and clean the conservatory roofs.

It's all solid until you fall through. I used to know a roofer. 

Can you get in the loft to check underneath first?

11 minutes ago, Rust Collector said:

Yeah the neighbours here are great so can’t fault them for telling me, I just could’ve done without another thing to fix 😅

It looks like I should be able to re-use some or all of the tiles. There’s also someone locally giving a load of them away free and they appear to match my roof so I should be sorted for some already weathered replacements.

God knows what made the hole though.

I'd say the timber batterns that the tiles hook onto are broken. Possibly the rest are suspect.

Be careful, you need a roof ladder.   Although you may be able to reach those without climbing on.

Well you can only drive one at a time.  

They said that to me when I had 2 MGB's. But my son was a named driver on both.

So I figured as long as we didn't hit each other it would be fine.

Possibly, but this most certainly won't cover mortgage etc.

 

Yes and yes . Do feel free to P.M me further details, as I'm rather clueless on this matter

@chaseracer will fill you in better than I, but when reporting and asking for it to be put in the accident book keep copies of everything.

Time, date, name reported too.

They forgot* to put my late wife's accident in the book. Tribunal sorted it, but you need all the details to back you up.

I gave £900 for mine. Same colour ish.

Hope the MOT goes well. Guess drop links and maybe back of sills. Sometimes they sail through.

But who is actually enforcing it? Typical solicitor's scare-you-away letter or notice of action being taken? 

Can get diluted over the years, but If someons digs in you are in the wrong and can end up with costs against you.  Or so my mate was informed.

He was also informed there was nothing mentioned about boats.

His brothers boat remained on his drive for many years. Long after his caravan was sold.

Absolutely not 😂 my deeds also don’t allow me to keep a caravan on my driveway!

 

I knew someone like that.

His brother had a boat on a trailer, so they swapped use of drives.
