Nothing new to report, but I saw Scottie the hotrod haulier at Brock's workshop in Wiltshire today & made arrangements to transport the Pop up to Wimblydon in That London on Tuesday afternoon.
Some snaps taken a few weeks ago.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Yeah, thanks for that Dave -I'm rodding as fast as I can! Poor old Chris took the body off his Moggy Minor yesterday & started measuring up for chassis/body mounts -then had to put it all back together this afternoon so I can move it tomorrow to get the Pop out for it's inspection. Sorry Chris.  Assuming all goes well tomorrow, it should be taxed from the 1st of March, so I can't drive it till the weekend, but we've got the windscreen out at the moment, only one sill done & lots of bits half finished. At some point soon it's gonna start being driven though, so will have to move outside permanently & live under a cover. I'll carry on working on it between road trips. |

Not scared, just wary!  Can't get my head around the auto gearbox thing -just feels like I'm not in control without a clutch pedal. As I said the other day, I'd rather take it out on the Basingstoke/Newbury road, (runs across the horizon from the workshop & a road I know well), & get the feel for it on a run, rather than shunting it back & forth around the yard, trying not to ram other people's cars. Yup, hopefully I won't need a trailer for this year's Basingstoke show -that'll be a first! Just the motorcycle & the Dodge Charger to go after this one. |
