No, but yes, but no, but yes.

Fence-shite today to repair wind damage.

 

Two lumps of wood £15 from Wickes. 

 

 

Reused vertical planks.

 

Bodged it to make it all fit.

 

Shit job, but it'll do me.

 

Also created hedgehog, fox, cat entry point

 

Also gave me an excuse to finally put together my super* quality budget workmate which I bought from Wilkos eleventy-billion years ago for £6 because it was end of line. Not too shabby, did the job.

Had our buyer around our house today. He wanted to apparently measure up for curtains and see if his fridge fitted. Made me nervous, especially as we're at quite a late stage in this process and I really don't want the house chain falling apart.

 

So I spoke to my agent to see how it went. She said he was really excited about moving, got all the measurements he needed and was hoping he'd be moved in 3 weeks.

 

Three weeks?! I better get my shit together and sorted quick. There is a garage that needs moving into storage first!

Not for use by all at the same time, I hope. Could get messy

The first rule of house sales is the agents are always full of shit.

3 weeks means the buyer hasn't mentioned a date but if it comes in then they will get bonus commission by this months pay day.

I have managed to find a genuine one lady owner from new (since 1989) motor which I'm very excited about. Just in final negotiations with a possible collection next Saturday.

[DVee8]

Has Hooli been banned is this so?

 

what have I missed?

 

Edit :- just read it on the other side.

Oh yeah I agree in not trusting agents.

However our buyer is splitting with his partner and so selling their place. Thus I can't imagine he'd be wanting to hang around his current place. Plus he now his conveyance pack. So there is no reason why it couldn't be 3 weeks.

Have had a lovely day. Woke up in a shack in someone's garden, thrashed an AE86 around at Silverstone (including a gentle parade that at one point allowed me to get up to 80mph), drove a Mirai (hydrogen), drove a Celica Supra Mk1, saw a Reliant Rebel on the motorway, drove over 300 miles in the Favorit since yesterday, with every mile logged by the mileometer. Perfect.

[RobT]

Boot loaded with tools and various automotive ointments, as I'm off to visit a certain Invacar tomorrow. Much excite!

Got it. I'm also being optimistic taking a spare battery and jump leads, but you never know.

[320touring]

That's the game!

 

Some REMONSTRATING fluid down the bore, hoover out the carb, turn it over a couple of times by hand then

 

boom:)

Can you give us lots and lots of details on the workings of the Mirai please?

Blimey, you have seen it right !

[stuboy]

I don't think the jump leads are for the Invacar

Did an oil change on the Visa today. Didn't use the pela as that would've involved walking to the shed. Ended up getting more oil on the drive than I got in the drain pan.

 

I'd left the oil filter on the shoe cupboard as I knew I'd need it but Mrs Imp had hidden it so it took me about an hour to find it as she had gone swimming so wasn't answering her phone.

 

Then I noticed the rear light had come away in the boot. I went to the garage to get a bolt and dropped the entire box of nuts, bolts & washers all over the floor.

 

Well, I actually dropped about half of it but was in such a bad mood after spilling all the oil and not being able to find the oil filter, when some of them fell out I hurled the rest of the box across the floor.

 

Lights still not fixed on properly.

"Well if you had put it away properly and not left it cluttering up on the side, this wouldn't have happened."

An all too often said phrase my wife says when I have the same problem trying to find stuff moved around here.

It was deleted.

Right,that's it

Stop the world I want to get off.....

Mrs BMH is taking me to Lidl shopping, then to look at her mate's MG TF that she fancies buying !!!!

 

FFS, we've already got a floppy top MGB, do I really need another one? Saving that, it's 15 years old and has covered only 25k coupled to having had the belts done last year and a very good MoT history.

 

Anybody want a 54 plate C3, 12 months MoT just in case I weaken?

[Broadsword]

25k on a TF is pretty impressive. It will only be on its second headgasket! Let’s face it the MG will be quite a bit more entertaining than the C3 if you are willing to put up with the harsher ride, tiny boot and no back seats.

Good to meet another shiter today. Mally popped round to 

pick up the drill and wrench he bought. Moggy engine in the

Nice to meet you Pete.

[stuboy]

Sorry I asked

[tommotech]

A quick update from South Africa, the CiTi Golf does exist in decent numbers. Now, can I get one home.........?

 

 

Rear C Pillar is sculpted and the front end is rounded, almost MK2 ish. I do like this shape Golf though.
