What about the Jaffa cakes? don't forget the Jaffa cakes! This is the thing, peopl;e don't know much about the manky Mobile cos you're too modest to hang around and tell 'em about it! At least you must now realise just how onderful it is - and how great it appears with the 'unpainted' look!  |

Yeah, it's onderful Bobbi.
Progress is slow, but it will get painted -eventually. Scrubbing the rust off's getting to be a real pain!

With luck I'll be in Brock's workshop checking out his Reliant engined special.
I'll tell the boys to look out for you Kev. Which motor are you taking? They're aiming to be there around 9am, but Loon definitely ain't a morning person!

Well, the gentlemen of the workshop, Loony & Chris made it to the Romsey classic meet & back again with no problems this morning.
They're always welcome to take it for a spin, but we've had torrential rain here in Hampshire for days now, with a lot of even quite busy roads being flooded, so I must admit I was getting a little worried when I hadn't heard anything from them by lunchtime. I ended up checking my phone & scanning Facebook like an anxious father waiting for his kids to come home safely from a night out. Eventually got a text mid afternoon from Loon confirming they'd got there & back in one piece.
He'd parked the Pop on his parents' driveway for a couple of days but the heavy rain dripping in through the partly welded roof seams provided a chilly surprise for him this morning -ice on the drivers seat! Thick fog on the journey down to Romsey, not helped by the screen steaming up in the cold, meant Chris was on map reading & screen wiping duty while Loon drove. Other than forgetting to switch from the main fuel tank to the reserve when it ran dry & almost stalling it, it seems to have gone well.
I don't think they took a camera, so here's a couple of snaps culled from FaceBook.
Something that really bloody annoys me, by the way -people who plaster your car in fliers for their shows. I didn't build it as a mobile bill board for free advertising for some other event. It also ruins your photos of other cars. I try to support as many events as I can, but always pull fliers off my car & put 'em in my glovebox or whatever. Please don't do it!

Is that you in the flame hat Kev? We never set out to pretend it wasn't a Pop, but hoped some might believe it left the factory as a truck cab rather than a saloon car. Suprising how many don't know what it is though. |

You ought to put a notice in it with that blurb you wrote for basingstoke one year - lots of folks took it as gospel!
