No turning back now.

100% I am super neurotic, because I am not the break down on the road and fix it type. So regardless of how good it turns out to be…. I stress till I turn the kettle on and walk around it gloating.

Been doing what I usually do….. Researching, lusting after a load of stuff. Missed out (sort of) on that red SAAB last week, or was it two weeks ago. So tomorrow I will ask the contracts boss for a day off on Tuesday to do a short road trip. £68.00 for a one way train ticket via London and then up country. The road route coming back registered as 200 miles. So hopefully a decent run to show it is good. With this new arrival, the S10 with 40k miles will be for sale. RULEZ IS RULEZ. One out, one in to keep balance. Though I still have to shift another. Destination: SCUNTHORPE Excited. So this weekend very little was done other than much telephone and internet time. Oh, and cut the grass. Weekend gone.

Seats back in.

This is pure porn. I have liked them for as long as I have known them, I like wagons. And looking at the price, even after taxes, buyers premiums etc…. Is half of what I expected them to be. @Rocket88 I have to confess that I am super envious. this look I also love, how the Japanese roll them.

That was a squirrel worth chasing and grabbing. Love it, right down to the colour. Very well buyed/brought/acquired

I’m was chatting with Dennis Over the weekend about a load of stuff. Including the upcoming USA road trip. He has just sold off his whole sprint car racing setup, a load of engines, frames, trailers, specialist tools, race cars etc. And it reminded me, before I had my “New YouTube Channel “ I had a channel where I loaded some stuff. This is mainly just for some of you guys, girls who have not seen these clips for Lake of the Ozarks racieway. Startup and preparation. A typical Missouri Friday night. https://youtu.be/BDuAjh1JQ1s At the track. https://youtu.be/rlbJoXj-BVM https://youtu.be/p70y8zpR628 https://youtu.be/LfrF0c4FZh4 https://youtu.be/tH1LVazhdMo https://youtu.be/0jUTFGEGSJM .

Window tinting today. A small job. Before and After

My younger brother “Dozer” retired in February after more than 41 years in the military. So being a pensioner means he has lots of time to create random stuff. Todays creation was a flower and bug, after servicing his motorcycle. 34” or 850mm tall. As a first time for something like this, he says most of the time was spent swearing and 25% of it making up and welding it. .

More polishing

TWO WEEKS OF NOT TOUCHING THE CANTA…… So what has happened? Time well spent in my garden and 4 days up in Shropshire helping Craig to move some of his jobs on. It was not hugely successful, but it was progress nonetheless. Previous videos show a bit of what we got to do. One of the rewards over the weekend, was to drag out Craigs 1950’s Messerschmitt KR250 replica. The reward was to try getting it to run after 14 years in storage. So not so much a “find” but a barn-release I guess. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/5d3gCONPsGA Hopefully this weekend will see me get some Canta time. Fingers crossed.

Not for sensitive ears.

Today’s episode

Probably the best result to date.

Some more polishing over the weekend. more on the channel

Cool. Thank you. Made me smile. I have been on tje road 32 years and have some memories that are distinctly vivid for all the wrong reasons.

PS. a load of videos on my channel
