We've been up for hours, Michael, contemplating a broad range of subjects over cups of tea. There's England versus the Iceland under 14s second eleven and the EU referendum debacle to name but two.

We haven't been idle.
Oh... hehe

Operation get rid of fking box-bike is a success!

Had to lift the damn thing onto the roof rack of an ex-nato Defender, which was a very interesting machine to have up close, but it was quite funny to see the thing 7 feet up in the air hehe

Which means, more parking space in front of the house, and no more neglected eye-sore reminding me of the ex every time i get home.

What is a box-bike? Is it a delivery boy's machine or something?

The boss of the Chicago Outfit? He's long dead.

We just don't gather in warehouses or garages on St Valentine's Day. It's a tradition in Newbury.

Today I have discovered a new meaning of the word "despair". It's when you fluke an early finish at work and decide to make the most of it by sitting in front of t'telly watching Le Mans (inspired by being at Goodwood and ...well, it having been Le Mans the week before) with a quality chicken dansak and bottle of poncy cider with murky stuff floating in it.


.....and they've sent a vegetable dansak by mistake weeping Darlingks, one is distraught grumpy

Bournemouth Airport. Now there's a funny little place. I've been inside a tent that's bigger and better equipped than the Arrivals "lounge".

Morning!

Shattered, Night-shift is draining. I've spent it looking at cars I can't afford and reading reviews of various Caterhams, cleaning my workshop and walking around the boat. Also watched a couple of episodes of the inbetweeners.

Definitely ready for my bed...

On a project in Portsmouth years ago, the chaps used Southampton Airport to slip over the channel to see a vendor in France. They were greeted by a young lady in a Portakabin who then ushered them to the plane and then served them drinks and then flew them to France. They were a bit startled the first time.

Here's an odd thing. I'm not keen on fakes and yet I keep going back to the idea for taking a cheaper (probably damaged) Caterham and turning it into a fake Lotus 7. So much has to change; engine and gearbox, suspension, rear axle, seats, instruments, even the headlights and registration number. Real ones are so damn expensive. Maybe I'll start doing the lottery again.

I think it would have to be C reg. Y'know, like KAR120C. Something along those lines.

I meant to say I wouldn't put Lotus badges on it. It would need to look a bit sheddish.
