Cheers mate

I've enjoyed following your Anglia.. can't wait to see what you do next

Recently I spotted a Renault 4 van broken down on a roundabout... I couldn't resist so parked up and helped push it out of the way and onto the very wide kerb.. the owner was very happy.. I was surprised how light it was.

I tend to listen to the radio via my telephone. Could you get something to connect to that?

Nice to see you managed to overcome the cockups from the specialist.. it's a surprise, I'd never heard anything bad about them..
Happy Christmas mate

Good to see progress on rover.. the pinball machine looks fantastic, have you thought about making and selling them as an extra source of funds for the fleet..

Very quiet mate... Saw a tidy Renault 4 yesterday...
