WOT I DID IN THE GR8 AUTOSHITE SERVER BREAKDOWN OF 2016

I went over to Keighley and recovered Meg the Visa from the garage she has been in for over a year.

She will be moving into the garage as soon as I make room (ie, move the Triumph).

 

Whst did you do?

Got irritable, well more irritable.

 

Then helped clean a Rover 75, albeit it very, very slowly with plenty of stoppage time :(

You have some nuts given to Joe for the visa. Barefoot gave them me and I passed them on.

I had to reverse bump start the Rover 414 on the slip road just before the Blackwall Tunnel as I stalled after the battery has died.

 

Was an interesting experience. I'll now need to pinch the battery off the 220 coupé to get it back on the road.

I got loads done, although without actually achieving much:

 

Made the ignition problem on the Jeep a tiny bit better. Arranged to get it back next week for a proper service.

 

Got the XJ-S to turn over on the starter, but not actually run.

 

Wrote a proposal for work and chased some invoices.

 

Hung out with Keith The Dog, talked to Mrs S.

 

Dug the holes to lay a patch of decking.

 

Borrowed a book on how Stromberg carburettors work.

 

Bought some wood to finish making a cabinet I started 18 months ago (there's a Jeremy Corbyn joke in there somewhere, but let's not).

Mostly I are been at work.....However I did manage to tidy the boot of the Cowley which had been full of carefully preserved bits of 1950s interior trim that I fondly imagined I could obtain a reasonable equivalent to somewhere on my travels.   Since that has yet to happen they are now in the shed whereupon they will promptly be lost.    

 

I did find a half bottle of Valvemaster Plus which I had forgotten about.   £5.75 profit in my man-maths ledger.

I fitted a passenger mirror to the 205 thankfully it matches.

I also took an aerial shot of SVM HQ's "storage area" 540f0714391a74ece24044f3afa99a54.jpg

 

My dog took over my car

Other than that I twitched a lot and broke my F5 key.

I did some work on the decking I'm building out the back . I bought a load of coach bolts but had a change of plan so took them back to screw fix to change them for some other bits . I stood in the queue for a bit then eventually got up to the counter and said can "I change these bolts for some angle brackets " . The guy said sorry I can't change them, I said why? He said this is tool station you bought these from screw fix. Embarrassing .

Wicked mate. Will sort something out with Joe. Your help is appreciated. If i can ever return the favour let me know.

Did more stuff which had to be done instead of SF16.

 

Also took this to Odiham for the NACC ride through the lanes on old underpowered things which break down and clocked 45 mph

I discovered that you can now find pornography on the internet.  Who'd've thought it?

I went searching the hedgerows for old damp pages from Razzle showing hairy German ladies....

I'm pretty sure there's an app for that.

I found this online today when looking for a job. Quite specialist.

I joined my new squadron yesterday and none of the big boys beat me up or took my lunch money.

 

Looking at it, the new aircraft I'm on is a damn sight cleaner and a lot more modern, some would even say engineer-friendly.

 

Still miss my old analogue clunky cabs though...

Luckily I did not realise it was down as I was out working with no access to t ' Internet.  Close shave........

I... I looked at Pistonheads. It's still full of powerfully-built company directors.

 

Allegedly.

 

EFA.
