I visited the hangar just to see the lay of the land as it were, alarmingly I couldn't see Penrose, though I could hear some muffled expletives being muttered, the door's unlocked and there's a group of trolley's by the smaller of the two benches, when we've got a "volunteer" for the Penrose side of stuff i'll go back and gain entry.
Someone has left a trolley on the landing containing Cheese rolls, Ham rolls, Bacon rolls, Casseroles, Rissoles & aholes!

It seems to be buckling under somewhat whistle
Yes I saw that this morning and wondered why it was there, has anyone seen Battert this morning? I mean it's rather unsightly and really should be moved to the cold store!!!

Frankly I think the place is falling apart!

Not seen Battert all day & everyone seems to have left the building today.

ION I have to find out about these `Tag` things for driving on the Motorway in France.

Going to Belgium with Mrs Jim AK & the YCC for our holiday in August, wont need for that iirc, but have to take a car to Spain in late June & then the same car to or from Monaco in early/mid September.

Hard life sometimes!!

The boot on the SLK with no keys succumbed to my latest onslaught. I cut a hole that will be concealed by the number plate so I could twist the rod that does the opening. Bingo.

Crude but effective.

You are aware that a stick of dynamite strategically placed would have been much quicker Dicky, admittedly nowhere near as neat as your very neat hideaway hole, but certainly quicker!!!! smile

Sorry, did I imply 'neat'?

Not neat. Nowhere near neat. Tidyupable but currently untidy. Ragged. Dynamitesque.

Uhh, did you perchance take a large flatbladed screwdriver and an even larger hammer and beat an ugly gert hole in the rump of the stubborn Merc as punishment for being said stubborn Merc??

The car is pretty skanky; no keys, stuck in Drive and rusty. So it's trim and mechanical parts I need to recover from it. Here's how to get into the boot:



You leave your fine feelings behind and make a hole - in my case 'chain drill' a hole - to expose the boot catch release rod. Give the rod a twist and bingo, we're in. Now I know where to drill I'll treat myself to a tank cutter to make a neater hole that can be plugged with a flattish grommet. Even with this one, if anyone could be bothered, it could be patched and made good. Number plates conceal loads of gremlins I'm discovering. The central locking pump I was keen to plunder in the boot has sold already for £100.

Excellent Dicky, starting to make some money back already!! I've managed to gut the rear replacement Focus door, actually easier than I thought, but getting the inner panel with the attached window regulator is going to be fiddly, just starting to get some paint on the bottom edge as it's quite heavily scratched where they were stood in a workshop for a while!!!

Well, that's most of my business sorted for now. Long story short, although it won't register on the Trivometer, Mum passed away on Sunday and Dad followed her a day later. Not totally unexpected as they were both in their 90's but still a bit of a wrench when it happens. Anyhow, onwards and upwards.

I see it's Easter in a week or so, I'll need to get something for Grandbomma. She's not really a big fan of chocolate so not much point in buying traditional Easer eggs. I did wonder about a lettuce, not sure how well that'd be received though.
I might get another Hatchimal thing, I'll give it some thought.
