Carrying a lighter load this weekend

 

[Clem]

Also went to Classics at the Clubhouse air cooled meet

Went to Wembley Stadium to see Blur. Stayed at the Green Man Pub in Wembley which is 10 minutes walk from the stadium and is £50 a night. Sounds dear but event parking and ULEZ in a modern car will come close , and hotels are £££ these days. Recommended.

Moving workshops?

Moving workshops?

Yeah, only next door but one but still far enough to realise just how much junk we have!

New workshop has a mezzanine floor for parts storage. And is nice to look down on what’s going on.

 

[gninnam]

Very cool and enjoy

Same farm as before, just two doors down . Much bigger but shared with a third person.

That looks bloody amazing! I can't even find a single garage to rent down here!

After mulling things over for possibly a couple of years now, I’ve had a tinker with the van. It’s a work in progress and there’s more to do, but, it was nice to take it for a run today.

Have you raised the van as well as putting the steelies back on ?

Yes. Standard beam, new standard dampers and the wheels which are temporary at the mo while I set things up. Left the adjustable spring plates on and just wound them up.

So, finally back on the road. Thought I’d put the sprints back on, so decided to follow it on with a sort of retro theme that may have been seen on a bus on the scene back in the old days on a bus on the west coast…

So, bought some vinyl off eBay and cut some stripes to suit. Tyres are 195/80 x 15 are seem enormous, I wasn’t sure they’d clear but they do …. *phew*

So, there you go. Just need a small set of steps now.
