Finally - some workshop time!

[wedg1e]

Leapt out of bed at the crack of dawn (well 8AM, bloody early for me, especially as I didn't go to bed till after 2) to chisel the ice off me Julie's car.
Once I'd defrosted I realised I had a whole day ahead of me, and Julie's at work.
As it happens I'd just bought a Shiny New Thing in the form of a 1200W halogen heater, so I decided it might be a good time to do a few jobs in the workshop and see how the heater performed.
Not only that, but I have another SNT... with 4MP and 8x zoom, nothing remotely car-related but eminently suited to recording the fruits of my mornings labours:



Someone's lucky car will be getting it as a belated xmas pressie, no doubt

The heater works a treat: switchable between 400, 800 and 1200W, it stays cool to the touch whilst setting fire to my trousers from several paces. Maplins, £20

The TVR has acquired a SNT too: 12-disc CD/ cassete system from me Julie, who was getting ar5ed-off with discs skipping in the old Sony 10-disc. Now I can feel the need for a bigger Amp, 'medium' watts should do it and maybe some new woofers and tweeters to complete the ensemble.

Now the day has flown by, the light is fading and I still haven't got round to fabricating a new blade guide for my bandsaw. Bugger. Still, there's always tomorrow...

But Ian, that wont fit a V8 manifold the spacings are all wrong...he says knowingly!!! Don't worry about posting it, I need to colect stuff from Graham soon so will drop by if you dont mind.

Finally kicked the Turd out today and the racer is now in the 'shop, I've lots of SNT's for him!!!

Ho um back to the 'shop.

Seeing as I was (am?) a cheap skate, I used to use the tumble dryer to warm up the garage. Just ignored the leccy bill when it came.

All I need now is a garage where you can fit more than a fag paper down the sides when the car is in.

Bought a four post lift from a neighbour just after buying the wedge in Jan so she sits on it as a parking spot and handy to keep an eye on things underneath ,need a bigger heater though !

You jammy git !

Even Wedg1e will be jealous of that!

I read my book about fixing cars, and then had to go for a lie down.

Its not jamy Graham , the chap sold it/wanted rid at a bargin price , and I knew the only way to look after lovely wedge without worry/backache/her dropping on me etc was to get this lift. Decided a few months ago to get lift restrung as ropes where fraying - reason why it was cheap ? Anyway dam glad its here , and if someone in a wedge wants to look under there car for a few mins then it would be ok but any longer and I an see a queue forming !If you are down this way Graham , as you have a 390 you are welcome !Going on hols sat returning 8 jan, so better be after then !

As well as having her underwear checked out, I'll shortly be taking the old girl in for a proper checkup to see if we can get the bite matched up to the bark.

Happy holidays.
