And where there is Alfa, should there not also be (an) Omega?

But I have a Gamma.

....which also means you need a Beta and a Delta, and quite possibly an Ypsilon and Kappa.

The show is creeping up on me...still quite a few things to do before I'm comfortable taking the Invacar that far from home...imagine I'll do similar to last year though...attend show, head home, catch my breath for a bit then drop by the gathering at your place for a while.  In which vehicle remains to be seen.

Our Metro is back from the paintshop this afternoon, but it started to rain so inside quickly and no photos.

I have the decals on order, but I still need weather strips for the doors.

Yes I went to get one today and they did not have a reinforced one so I ordered the correct belt and took a std V belt, but that only lasted 40 minutes.

Is that float valve likely what caused your cutting out previously?

It won't shut off now and is pouring fuel over the hot bits!

It is sad to report after all the help I received from Eddie Honda getting a radio code for my Blaupunkt Boston in the AX it is a broken unit. We tried new speakers but no sound from it.

For now I have fitted an old Sony unit I had laying around but it does not really fit properly as it is too deep to push right back.

I had already tried replacing it with one of the cheap Chinese units but the USB will not work and my ipod works fine with a similar unit in the VP1500.

Should I trade the Daimler in now it has done 50,000 miles!

Yes our 1973 Sovereign has only done 50,000 miles in 46 years and has a full history to go with it.

Ok 9 miles over by the time I reached my destination this evening.

I have had little response to the Festival of the Unexceptional prep day so I am setting it a Saturday 13th July.

It can carry over into Sunday and camping is available.

If it's tyhis hot I'll be going in fully clothed.  I changed the outdoor tap today, Mrs PBK didn't turn the water off. I was drenched, I may have stayed in the water flow for a while. I dried off in about 45 mins, tempted to do it again.

Chuck me the map to Narnia and I see yez all on the 13th.  I'll be Rover 45'ing.

I may bring some valeting shite. 

Mrs 6C, do you do a nice sweet still cider? ;)
