As long as emptying their bins is someone else's job, it's all good.
Today, I have been driving on the beach, piccies being scanned in later.
J "Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true..
I filled the Midget with fuel and brought it to the shop today, over one of my favourite drives . My parents then borrowed it to go shopping (No doubt giving my father incentive to get his Midget finished and on the road); guarding it well whilst it was parked I wish we could have a Summer this year......cr*pping down since 2006 does get on one's t*t at times
This is a still taken from an onboard film (I think it was the day in 2011 when it wasn't cr*pping down)

This evening I spent 2 hours chasing the cause of the overnight drop on my Range Rover's suspension. I have fitted new springs and new seals to the valve block previously but it was still not holding air. Filling a plant mister with water and fairy liquid spraying my way along the lines I found a bodge I should have noticed a long time ago. At some point, some joker has "fixed" a split with a piece of fuel line and 2 jubilee clips. I now have 2 more jubilee clips in my stock and fitted a correct coupler so hopefully no more EAS faults

I spent a couple of hours today hovering and shampooing the carpets in all my cars. The RR as usual gave me a "surprise". I decided to take the sill trim off so I could get at some dirty marks on the carpet and after removing 16 seized screws with a drill I found there is quite a lot of rust on the drivers side floor. a bit of poking and a hole 3" by 1" has appeared. Oh dear.
