      Breakfast meetings are best, you can be asleep at the beginning as well as the end.

      Meeting? Luxury! If only I could have a meeting with today's client - all I get is unintelligible emailed specifications

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

  2. 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!

      Surf down here was far too challenging yesterday.

  5. 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!

      Oops, should have said Sept!

  9. Worked until midnight last night to fit the headliner to my vw bus, mammoth job but came out at about 85% perfect, will have to live with the 15%

  10. 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.

      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!

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

    2. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

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

  14. TPM 2mm point levers, really small but strangely satisfying once made!

      BlackRat

      Nice one, enjoy and say hello to everyone! Work calls.......

  17. 1 engine to take apart, 1 to build, paint the front and fit a new head liner and my VW bus is back!

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      I wonder what a VW bus would be like with a Subaru flat-4 powering it....

    2. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      I had a WRX engine in the shed for a while, but you need a radiator! This will do the same job for similar money http://www.vwspeedshop.com/product.php?productid=16758&cat=385&page=1

  18. Has mastered the ancient art of Morris trunnion fitting having broken a lower one, and is now painting his VW

      Pity. Mine's dated 1983.

    3. devondynosoar118

      devondynosoar118

      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".

  21. 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!

  22. Contemplates 4x14hr days welding over the jubilee......
