A good day at Johns

[pmackellow 2,738]

As I was on holiday, I blagged a lift with Mr Showman to deepest Surrey today to have a look at what was left at Johns, and to meet up with him and Alan again for a chinwag and drinking tea (as you do).

 

Chris and I made the re-finding and dragging out of its resting place of a British Anzani Easimow our first job, after hacking down the brambles to get to it we dragged it out, getting ripped to bits in the process !!

 

Chris then fitted a couple of tyres for Alans latest project, and we had another look about at the Marinas and the other bits and bobs that are left, including some mowers...

 

Lastly Alan fired up his Sears/Roper and we had a go round the garden on it, then drank some more tea...

 

A good day, thanks to Chris, John and Alan, here's some photos...

Another good chin wagging and pottering around day.   I finally arrived home about 11.15 pm after going to collect wifey who was baby sitting baby grand daughter and WAIT ...... ING for baby's mummy and daddy who arrived back home hours later than planned. 

 

Nice to see Paul again, OK, Chris too, but a shame that the Easimow had self destructed since we last saw it.   Paul was on the Sears / Roper like a flash of lightning for a ride around but Chris had to visualize something RED before he had a test drive.

 

Thanks again Paul and Chris for another good day.

A few chassis repairs and the Easimow would be ready to go.. Of course now would be the time to stretch it a little to get a bigger engine in

 

Great photo's guy's, John's workshop is looking a little empty now..

If you and Nigel got hold of it Ian it would have a big engine and be called Queasymow !!

Alan I would love to give the Sears/Roper a home but unless someone wants to give my Raider 10 a home I don't have room !! (or the money)

That poor Easimow!!

 

I would keep the ali top as these are often missing. Has Vegi Kevs one got his as perfect donor

 

If you stop buying fancy pick ups Paul then you can buy more!!

Could see that you liked it Paul.  The look on your face while riding around was a good clue.  Now, who is looking for a Raider 10 ?
