Attempting to change the rear suspension on a rusty Ford Focus whilst battling man flu isn't a good idea.
In other news in two days time I will playing with an old rusty triumph 1300TC

No.1 son just email'd to let me know its 26c. surfing in the Indian Ocean and 36c laying on the sands, he'll be home for Christmas and tell Mum to start the sprouts.

Just rear coilovers to order and fit now...

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Not terribly happy with where my old Daffodil went right now - thrashed to overheating on a trip down to Hampshire and planning to swap the original 746c engine (one of 2 in the country of that model) for an 850.

Seems such a shame for an (until now) unmolested 47 year old car with only 2 left on the road

Logged on to facebook last night to see a friends request from my son, who I haven't had any contact with since 1996.

I think the heart attack risk is back to normal again now.

Sitting in Aberdeen Airport......really can't be bothered with this....I hope it's warmer in London.....I'm 40 this week....how upsetting

Just discovered I can get DAF, Spitfire and a lot of 1300 FWD parts in the workshop at once. Although DAF front bumper is touching workbench, Spitfire front bumper is touching DAF rear bumper and Spitfire rear bumper touches the barn doors on the garage. Its a bit of a tight fit I think.

And they thought it had finally died! Mwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Now I'm not someone who wants a lot of things, but I do tend to buy the few things I do want.
Trouble is, if i sell my triumphs, I think I want a v8 tvr. Actually, I'm pretty sure I do. I'll have a look, just a quick look on ebay, surely that won't hurt...

I'll buy you one if my lottery comes up this week Nipper!!
