Paddy

Have you ever considered having some sort of adjustable corner plates fabricated which you could attach to the gazebo legs/feet so that the
vehicle wheels could sit upon the plates thus securing all that goes above whilst you work your magic.

Failing that idea you could always start up a new business based on previous occurrences............KitesRus.....rolleyes

Take care Ed.

I thought I’d get into body repair and I this cuts out the middle man lol.
I’ve had this gazebo since the historic Burghley event and have probably used it 5 times and this being the first time while working on a car. I will be looking at getting a unit soon, so won’t need this other than for shows.
To be fair though, this isnt going anywhere. It’s got sandbags and buckets of water on each corner and one corner is tied to nextdoors tree!

I hope you are very well and still pigmaster general.

Ah ha, its the old tied to the neighbours tree technique then is it, steady on my boy NASA will be headhunting you next for their problem
solving department.

So where you based now Paddy, I've lost touch a bit since the lockdown.

I'm pleased to hear your considering a unit to work from, no doubt close to a take away food source mind...burger

Sad to hear we lost Tom recently btw.

Finally Mick's been asking after you, he so enjoyed that steamy afternoon you spent with him in his wood shed.......biggrin

I split my time between Warwickshire and near ascot, depending on where I’m working. If I got a unit, it would be down south, but would still travel when needed.

I was going to ask about Mick, such was the fond memories in the confessional, but thought he would’ve succumbed to the mad cow by now and ran off into the fens.

Glad to see you've still got an Aston Nick and not moved on to the batmobiles like so many.

Not sure the above pics do it justice given the cloudy weather but the car looks great. The polish and ceramic coat has really brought the green out in the Minotaur Green paint and given the whole car a more “liquid” look to the finish. We made the mistake of taking the gazebo down yesterday and as a result Francis had to re-dry it several times during the day before carrying on and finishing it. It looks so immaculate that I will be afraid to use it !
