'Garage sale' on a local Facebook page. Trying to resist the temptation to ask if they still have the case of VD.

Shit face pineapple mong left me negative feedback on evilbay t'other day that I sent him a too small pool ball. I complained to evilbay that he was a window licker without a clue, and amazingly they have agreed with me, negative feedback erased.

 

Still getting an argos book in the post mind.

In the last year you've sold nigh on 4,000 of these things and only had 4 complaints. I think you've done pretty well tbh.

Just found this: me, about 1979, carbon-arc brazing. Still got the SIP welding transformer.

Beetle went to Dad in'81, then Mum had it until about '86 so the repairs lasted ok.

Didn't even know the picture had been taken!

Went to a bar last night and on the way home I went past a neighbours house who had a large pile of stuff out by the curb for the garbage man. Amongst it all was this beauty, a 20 gallon, 1.5hp air compressor. I dragged it home and today I gave it the once over and then plugged it in. It only flipping worked, SCORE.

 

Checked the specs online and it should be good for most air tools (7.3 CFM@90PSI and 7.9 CFM@40PSI) and as a bonus found out that these retail for just under $1000

'What do you want more bikes for?' my missus asked before I left the house this morning. Honest to God, they just don't get it do they?

I think you need a good clear out as that strimmer and lawnmower are taking up valuable bike space!

Decided to get the train back to Manchester from Kings Cross and go via York instead of going to Euston, hate that place, and Pendolinos.

East Coast train to York has broken a/c in two carriages so they declassified one of the first carriages. As such I'm sitting here in a big leather recliner with a massive table to myself :grin:

Oh, and the wifi is acting like its first class so it's free too 😎

I flashed out an old blue Fiat Scudo van with two auld scrotes driving. He took about three flashes before he realised. It was an LHD van, but on the back of his van was a handwritten sign that said 'Left Wheel Drive'.

She's a keeper :)
