Manky Monkey Motors

Rainbow & I spent the afternoon here today. Well, I spent the afternoon drooling over all manner of automotive delights & she waited, (very), patiently while I photographed most of it.
120 photos & a quick write up to follow soon.
Warning: I'll be attemping to produce the Gallery at least unaided -without a safety net -so who knows what might happen.
Favourite bike -this gorgeous metalflaked Sportster on the Chops 'n' Bobbers stand. Favourite car -not sure. Far too many to choose from.

that sportie rather nice manky

I take it that by 'today' you mean yesterday?  As Rainbow and I were eating chips on Poole Quay today!

Hi Bobbi. Yeah, posted that at just gone midnight so yes, technically should've been "yesterday"! Was a damn good show. It's grown a lot since I last went. Janie & Dave Posties were there. We texted each other from opposite sides of the field but never met up. Doug from the Guzzlers was there, (STILL waiting for an update on their car club), Richard, the guy who's Pinto engined 100E & Zephyr I'm still chasing up, Marc & Phil, two V Dub driving Basingstoke Posties -loads of familiar faces. Thought maybe you'd have gone?

Sadly no wheels - well, got 4 wheels but.....

And I promised myself I would garden this weekend - my gartden's a jungle cos it hasn't had much done to it for 2 years cos of my leg - I plan to get it tidy this year and turn it back into a garden next year - the neighbours will be so relieved!

Then I got seduced into meeting Rainbow on Poole Quay Saturday. and went to BSB at Thruxton today (Monday)!

I did do a lot of gardening Fri and Sun tho.

Saw some of the racing from Thruxton on the telly -my mate Simon's telly, not mine cos I don't own one. Looked like a good day.
Are you chapperoning Rainbow at the Celtic Warriors do next weekend?
We went to Wheels Day in her Corsa. I managed to post the Photo Gallery this morning with a little help from Yodie then he set up the logo & words. Think I've made a small mistake somewhere though cos the piccies seem to be coming up smaller than usual. Yodie! Help!!

A)  I don't chapeone anyone - if anything it's the other way round!"

and
B)  I'm not going to the CW's cos I'm working and anyway I went once and while it was very impressive - and I saw Saxon live - it's really much too big a do for me, I like the little rallies, smaller the better!

Yeah, know what you mean. I'm not into big festival type shows either. Never been to the Warriors' do but just don't fancy it for some reason. Rainbow's going with a crowd of her mates from UKBIKE forum. I'll be spending the weekend in the garage -nothing new there then.

Spent a large part of my weekend at work - got so pissed off with all the problems there I felt like walking out and not going back!

Got 2 days off now but still no trike, the bloke who was going to look at it 'forgot' to phone me back - by the time he remembered I had booked it in somewhere else, with a very nice man who's busy but said he's fit it in.  Took it over on saturday and when I asked when I should phone about it he said "Well you'll be wanting it for Tuesday"  (Poole quay).  So I have high hopes!

He does all kinds of classy stuff but doesn't turn up his nose at an old GT trike!

Mind you I have watched him enjoying a rally...........   ;)

A good mechanic is always nice to find, but one who actually does things when they say they will is priceless.
