In other news, Royal Mail, as of 7:36am this morning, now have the alternator regulator I ordered last Tuesday lunchtime, so will be here early next week, probably Tuesday, as its been posted with 48hr tracked (not the 24hr tracked as per the description on Ebay). Did I mention I think the majority of Ebay sellers are lazy, incompetent, lying bastards?

So I will see if I can rearrange the cars and dump the Jag somewhere localish (its the only car that works, so can't be too far away ;D), and pull the bumper off the Battlebus.

Is that from Mid Ulster rotating electrics ? If so it surprises me. They sent mine almost before I had ordred it.
Nah. A GB  based item that I suspect is actually coming from Poland.

Ftfy as mid Ulster is in the UK. Pedant mode off.  :D

Today, I ventured to Dave the Builder territory in the big black Pussy. He kindly gave me some parts for the Battlebus, many, many thanks DtB :y

Drove back via Auto Addict country, and thought about dropping in, before remembering that I don't like him anyway :P.

Being in the Jaaaggg, the Sat Nag sent me past the factory where it was made.


Got home and spent the afternoon fitting bits to the battlebus.

Now laying in a hot bath, I suspect my back will make me pay for the abuse its had in the last week :(

I think you end up with a bad back doing that job even if you had a 2 post lift  :P

I have just sprayed tea through my nose ;D :y


Obviously I would have phoned from the end of your road, just to see you scramble into the car to ensure you was out.
