      Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky,

      Waiting for me when I die,

      But between the day you're born and when you die,

      They never seem to hear even your cry

       

      So as sure as the sun will shine,

      I'm gonna get my share of what's mine

      And then the harder they come,

      The harder they'll fall,

      One and all.

       

      Ooh the harder they come,

      The harder they'll fall, One and all

      Lol, with his creativity we could see a combination of his work, sort of a OO diorama attack in the gents.....

  4. Latest score is old rusty VW 1, old crusty VW repairer 2. 29 hours of work so far, in 10 days as well as my main job!

      Pity. Mine's dated 1983.

      Antique by BMW standards. Might stretch the rules if it's only bodywork.

    4. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      It is mostly bodywork. These things were built by Karmann, the German for "rust".

  5. A morning surfing alone in the sun followed by a foot long sandwich and a brew. Absolute perfection!

      Surf down here was far too challenging yesterday.

  6. 2 slices of good bacon, 1 egg, a muffin and a slice of plastic cheese topped with BBQ sauce... Mmm dirty!

      The golden M version uses a slightly different recipe, certainly has no actual bacon in it!

  7. Out of Europe twice in one month, surely some sort of record?

      Kris

      There were some larger waves (6ft faces) later in the day, I know I ate most of them!

  10. Mental note to self: do not loosen cylinder head bolts with head full of water ever again... Bloody weird water cooled rubbish, air cooled rule.

      Aircooled Rules! except when you want warmth and defrosting capabilities in the winter.

      devondynosoar118

      Hah my bus is toasty warm, you just have to get one that's not rusty. Thanks sidecar, if I had any choice my ex navy Napier diesel and weird british car mechanic would be on it. As for the sport line I can have a whole new motor for the price of a clutch change plus I get my road tax for free!

  11. I have yet to see a software "upgrade" that didn't cause as many problems as it fixed....

      Don't you have a meeting to discuss what you're gonna discuss in these meetings?

  15. Public Information Braoadcast- when driving your shed of a car with several illegal tyres on, it's a bad idea to have A WHOLE FRONT WHEEL COME OFF right in the centre of town, 100 yards from the police station. Nobody hurt but someone got a well deserved hefty fine.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Was it a foreign-registered shed?

      Although my memory is of something that was pretty good if you could get the bogies to run well.

  18. Running in my new Farish 03!

      Coldgunner

      Its on my list of maybe's, not keen on a diesel shunter atm but either an 03 or 08.

  19. Manic modelling continues until crazy engine building takes over next week! Hot road crank and rods on way for a faster dub!

      what have you got? I'm stripping my mk1 golf front end to sort out a suspesion knock once and for all...

      forget the vdub buy my porsche instead you can't do 140mph in a vdub

    3. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      71 bus. On the porsche front I think these people would beg to differ!

      All VW engines, first one is a non turbo 1.8!

  20. VW crank bearings should be round not oval and you shouldn't be able to peel the phos. bronze off with ur fingers!

    1. KevinWalsh

      KevinWalsh

      Is this on an older Vdub or a new one?

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      That doesn't sound good. Where were the parts produced?

    3. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      It's a '71 bus!

      If you have to drive them like I have even when they are a bit poorly it usually kills the centre main bearing! If I had loads of money I would have bought a new engine, instead I have had to make 2 from junk parts!

  21. Ran over a 2 1/2 ft long grass snake last night:( a sad end for a beautiful animal, but he was curled up on the road in the dark, heating himself.

    1. Barry Ten

      Barry Ten

      Sad but not your fault obviously. Remember when my wife and I hit a rabbit in our car, had to kill it properly afterwards which was even worse. Felt awful for weeks.

      Wait 'til Momma snake comes to get you! 30' anaconda!

  22. Thank you to committee and organisers of the TRAC model railway show yesterday, I had a great day at the show. Rounded off with blowing stuff up and a BBQ for fireworks night, all in all a super Saturday!

      Did you have your fingers crossed when you typed that???

    2. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      No (well maybe a little bit...) still got to put the van back together!

  24. Only the Minor is now working, all other cars broken! 48 years old and still better than the modern stuff.l

    1. newbryford

      I need to sort my Minor out, but too busy modelling........

    2. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

  25. Dead cars re-animated, back to wiring :(

    1. Kris

      Kris

      Now what you really wanted was to be out enjoying the sunshine!

    2. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      Yep, got out for a bit, still failed to see the Dukedog on the SDR!
