the showman

No danger at Johns, i was in the mini digger.

Had a rummage through my boxes and found my tackles that ive collected over the years ( don't know why ) but here's some photos.

I could have parked it on Pam's lawn and put the dipper arm through the window . Thats a good idea. I want something more manoeuvrable than that Mark

As I advance into my mature years I'm finding it harder to pick-up engines and transmissions so i'm looking at making these things easier without spending any money. I'm looking at making an engine hoist or gantry and was wondering the +s and -s are between them

Had the Wheelhorse out today in the southern sunshine and drove it round the garden a few times. Runs and drives as it should so I'm very pleased with it.

I seem to have some Westwood paperwork I thought you might like to see.

Many happy returns of the day Doug, hope you have a great day.

Your working wonders with that hood Ewan, ive got two in a similar condition so i'm watching with interest.

Had a couple of spare hours today so I've done it bit more. everything just about done and all up and running, I've moved it backwards and forwards in the shed , next job to get it out and try it round the garden.

Many happy returns of the day Koen.

Lots of nice stuff there, thanks for the photos Paul

They are split rims and have a small hub with bearings but no nipples and look a bit flimsy, i'll see if i can use them when the time comes, it just that they were 4 inch which is what i was after

That's what I'm thinking

Forgot about these, found them in the car. 4 brand new wheels, tyres and tubes with rubber straight valves for £15. Thought I'd better have them just in case.

Found a couple more, Pam must of taken them.

I couldn't eat a lunch as well,

Went to a bring and buy sale this morning organised by a stationary club I belong to, it was a complete waste of time as there was only a handful of people there. It was held at the Hassocks garden centre so the traditional breakfast was the best part of the visit . During the time i spent there the London to Brighton veteran car run was on and they trundled past the gate, it was quite cold and they all looked frozen. Norman asked me to take my camera so here's a photo i took especially for him.

Sorry Andrew.

Yes Paul, he must of heard the kettle.

Very pleased to have Triumph 66 visit me today, it was nice to spend some time with him over 2 cups of tea and have a catch up. Of cause he wanted to look in the sheds and see the Raider burst into life. Then it was time to go and obviously I couldn't let him go without him buying something red off me so we rang out his wallet and even helped him load up.

I don't think so Chris, Andrew is a Bolens man and hasn't been converted yet.

Looks good to me, i'd be happy with that too,

Started the day by snapping a terminal on the ignition switch, after an hour of raking through boxes I found another one. that fitted i went on with the fuel tank and pipes also a new filter, found a rearlight so that went on and wired up, bolted down the seat and prepared the underside of the hood.

Had an exhausting day with the rear fender and rear wheeis done and fitted i had to take a seat Got one of these so i needed one of these All changed over, I'm pleased with that No prizes for guessing the seat cover came from the honeyhole at Johns.

That doesn't work for me.
