Made the other rear corner interior panel from fibre glass, I hate that stuff. Fumes made my eyes sore and my hand itch, Have to trim it today. 1mm disc in the angle grinder works !

D asked for a hand with a 307cc roof, it got stuck in open mode. We tried to close it by hand but you needed to be Geoff Capes to lift it , well 2 old farts with bad backs didnt cut it! What a bar steward , I worked out one of the catches not releasing. All worked by cables but it needs more trim removing to see what is what.

WEll if you eat from the Kabambulance what do you expect. I used to MOT an old ambulance converted to a mobile burger bar and that was what it was named, it was never going to rust due to the burger fat covering everything.

First cut! the idiot next door has been cutting his for over a month, he cut it on Friday and again today. I think he uses a laser line for the stipes and measures the grass with a Vernier--------

You have to watch out with these cheap pattern parts, D (where I have my unit) fitted a NAPA alternator to a Ford and the warning light stayed on. Well known fault apparently as when he got a genuine Ford one the first thing the storeman as was has it got a NAPA fitted!!

Bloody traffic going to the RHS Spring garden show, going the other way but stuck behind a tractor . The daft bastards were queuing for about 6 miles to the car park from the Glos direction so unable to get past then 2 folks on bikes were slowing the tractor down. They pulled over and let the tractor past but the stupid cow on the one bike pulled out in front of me (nearly hit her) and peddled slowly for 1/4 mile before letting me past. On the way home with the traffic coming the other way it took ages to get round cars outside the local shop GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
