just got back from a great week at centre parcs in france. everything was great but their broad band has mysteriously disapeared since last year
had to spend over a week waiting to come home to view some pics nelly sent me on the first day of my holiday.
got home today and down loaded these
well pleased with the result of a sh#t load of graft put in by Nelly over the bank holiday weekend. Cant wait to go down and see it, and absolutely sh#tting myself about having to tow it back :shock:

man that look snice. such a nice colour! i think you could pick a real good range of interior colours to set that bus off even more. i'm looking forward to seeing this bus in the flesh too, but maybe not as much as you hehe.
when do you think you will be getting it back?

That is sooo shiny I want to rub myself on it - is that wrong? :shock:
Dude, it's not so much you and your driving - you can do it safely, it's trying to keep other people away from the trailer. People tailgating it, late over-takes, stones flying up etc :sign0023:

picked these up on the way to france for the t4. 4 8.5j x 19 inch oz racing splits. though they will have to sit for ages as rubber will cost a fortune as the 255 40 19 were a bit too big for the velle.

went down to andover on friday for what turned out to be a very tiring weekend.
nelly had texted me a couple of pics in the week of the wet flatting
and at 10.30pm friday when we got there nelly was just masking it ready to do the clear coat.
after two coats of clear and a good bit of baking, at 4.30am saturday morning when we inspected the bus. Nelly wasnt happy with the grey colour being patchy below the clear in the odd area so decided to make the decission to flat it back and do it again.
so after another coat of grey and two more coats of clear it now looks like this
the finish is unbelievable :shock: . every little bit that i had been worried has all been sorted by Nelly. the pics dont really do it justice. i am so pleased with how it has turned out.
the journey back however was one of the most tense experiences i have ever had. totally uncovered, and after thunderous downpours we set off at 7.00pm saturday night. the weather held out and other than the crap uk roads and the odd bit of spray we got it packed away in the garage and home for 11.30pm.
it was a mad weekend for me with only three hours sleep (which was three hours more the nelly got ) and it was topped off with a blast around the block in Nellys rocket. at which point i really wussed out and asked him to take it easy. Ive never been that fast in my life.
my plan is to not touch it for a couple of weeks to let it go rock hard. then hopefully start the rebuild.
watch this space. i have three requests for it for weddings mid 2012 so need to pull my finger out
