Did you hold your hands up in front of your face a la "b" rate film while screaming "We're all going to die!!!!"???

I've finished, and I'm rather pleased with it!!! Some great detail in the cockpit too!!

Bobberoo, is your house at the top of a beanstalk?

Why yes, Jim yes it is!!!!

A Caterham 7 kit is £14,995.

Just saying.

I'd love to know where from, I can't find one for that price!!!

I believed what I found on Google at my first attempt.







Sorry.

Beware the pigeon in the sun.

Did you hold your course? Swerving would be quite the wrong thing to do in a train.

The old squadron 'fight or flight' impulse kicked in, naturally I swerved to the left in the chair and smacked by boat race on the inside of the cab window. Saved the day by not spilling any tea though, a sackable offence at my depot

[Bobberoo99]

Don't worry Dicky I did show Mrs Bobbers the ones that I found and her response is unprintable, I'm guessing I won't be allowed one!!!

But can’t be fitted through the lounge door let alone onto that glass display shelf to the left of the fireplace you know the one with Aunt Gussets urn on etc

Take the picture window out, wrangle the car inside and cantilever off the lounge wall above the sofa. Easy. Just mind your head when you stand up.

It was Aunt Ern’s Gusset apologies for the confusion

Pottering today.

More news later.

Which one you watching? Which out for hogwarts nasty little things that smell like bacon

[Bobberoo99]

We have a bay window, I'm pretty sure I can get the bugger in through that, Auntie Erns urn could cause some issues though!!!

How wide is the bay? Could we display the car in a sort of hammock over the window sill?

[Bomma220]

Irrespective of the urn / gusset display, I'm concerned that the car may need to be tipped on its side to fit through the proposed apertures. Some of the fluids could spill out which would be a pity, it'll spoil the carpet.

There's a universal door / window widening kit in the hangar, we'd just need to take a few measurements and make some calculations in order to deploy it to the best advantage.

[Bobberoo99]

Having used the universally acknowledged, tried and tested, window aperture measuring method of squinting at it, holding a thumb up and sticking my tongue out the corner of my mouth I think we'll need Bomma's widening kit to get it in!!!!

[Bomma220]

Positive thoughts from Bobbers there, I'm sure the kit will prove effective.

Should we decide to proceed, there's a few sets of body armour and anti-flash hoods available to those who wish to assist with the project.

[anonymous-user]

If the kit doesn’t work I have access to ‘Remote Door Widening Apparatus’.

[anonymous-user]

.....as backup only, you understand, on account of it leaving more of a crater than a widened door.

[DickyC]

Hold on, lads, I've had an idea.

Why not buy two and stand them on end either side of the front door? All that beastly business of removing windows, blocks and tackle, Mrs Bobbers throwing Bobbers' Lego down the road and so on would all be unnecessary.

A splendid but mildly flawed plan Dicky, once stood on end they're rendered somewhat undriveable, which is kind of the point of having one!!!

[Bomma220]

It's a reasonable solution, I expect it would save a lot of grief. I'll tell the airfield fire crew to stand down.

Incidentally, would it look best to have both cars in the same colour?

Oh. I hadn't realised anyone was intending to actually drive the things, we certainly wouldn't get any form of insurance cover.

The Trivton Mutual have still got the steaming hump with us since the hole appeared in the roof a couple of volumes ago
