Did   the welding on the o/s of the Omega.  >:D
Hopefully get the other side done next weekend.  :)
Pretty sure I heard a blow from the o/s front of the exhaust, so another job to add to the list.

Fetched the trailer this morning, was 12.30 by the time I got it in the workshop. 12.45 the sides were cut off and by 5 I had the side frames fitted, Its going to make a great teardrop trailer. The funny bit it the trailer was on a caravan chassis!

Left it at home to suffer 2 hours on a train. The drive home should be less stressful.

I mean as less stressful as a £600 204k mile Merc ML can be >:D

Sat on my backside drinking a nice coffee as the 'up and over' car wash got rid of the coating of Sahara dust.  :)

Another day of cutting, grinding and welding but have a working door on the teardrop, just a bit of welding left. Cut out the one side from a sheet of ply, Its coming together nicely.

Both wrong  ;D

Actually Stemo is half right. It's got 4 different tyres on it with varying wear so it's a bit wandery and the front discs are worn but otherwise it's impeccable under the circumstances  :D

29.8 mpg and 61 uneventful miles.

Yup all the way to Lundun Bridge and 3 trains to get to Kent... ::)

Just over an hour in the car and even the Proper Car is cheaper than the £40 the train cost. :-X
