Was there ever any doubt ? Clowns at DVLA didn't send me a tax reminder this year so just got letter saying it's not been taxed since August ! Guess they can't be arsed when it's free

Not really I’m no fool and am very anal with the maintenance but it’s nice to get it up on a ramp and put it in the brake rollers etc

Yes I get them for our "normal" cars too but they are on direct debit so they probably have to do that. Pretty sure I got one for the van last year - web sight says they want you to set up an account with them to recieve reminders but looks a right faff with passport number etc. Think I'll just set reminders in my phone or write them on the Mrs's calender ( that will go down like a one legged man doing the Hokey Cokey ).

Finally it cleaned today!

Now that really is one of life’s conundrums???
Mrs Ozziedog didn’t want a calendar for the last few years and I just find it easier to use as a visual styled reminder for events and Mots and stuff. So I’ve bought her a calendar, a nice girly style that she likes for last year and this year. Now I know I’ve got crappier than crappy hand writing but she goes bananas if ‘ I ‘ write on ‘ her ‘ calendar. It’s ok if she writes it in but not if I do. She’s the same if you try and read a newspaper before her, she dosent want to read a second hand news paper , luckily we don’t get one too often now.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,strange things them girrrrllss

So yesterday I had my Weber 48’s made a touch more civilised…



Went and saw my friend Paul Bate in Essex yesterday who used his special jig to drill 3rd progression holes, genuinely surprised how much of a difference it’s made. It was smooth (for Ida’s) anyway and now it’s more like my old IDF’s

Bus looks fantastic mate, I've never been a massive fan of gasburners but looking at yours I am really digging them

Went down the beach last night for some street food. My friend took this cool pic

 

[K@rlos]

Gave the old thing a damn good run on Saturday, went to see Pete at cogbox in north-west London in the morning then blasted up the M40 to the outskirts of Oxford to see my mate ‘Metal Dave’ who made me pizza

 

[K@rlos]

Really got the itch to rack some more miles now

Dinner at the beach the other night

Little bit of fun this afternoon

 

[K@rlos]

Not really used the bus much recently due to being mega busy and not really having any enthusiasm for shows so far

However I did treat myself to some engine porn/treasure






A New old stock Mallory ‘sprint mag’ magneto along with a spare nos transformer, points, cap and rotor arm. The seller even included. A truly rare old
School speed part

Looks absolutely stunning!
Did you get it from the states?
My engine came with a magneto, shame I had to clear my storage unit due to moving to Oz and so got rid of it.
Obviously wasn’t a Mallory…

No it was for sale here in the U.K. I love Mallory stuff, have it on my bus and bug. Vastly better quality than MSD and when I saw this I had to have it

Went to Dragstalgia at the pod with my mate stu. Took 1 photo and got drunk, good weekend

Great picture there! We managed to get a bunch of Earlies together at Camper Jam this weekend #backinthegame
