Yeah, it's a shame -only a couple showed up & a few people in daily drivers, but that's the British weather for you.

At last we agree! Smiley
This photo cropped up on FaceBook today. Taken outside Loony's old workshop by Gary, a local recovery truck driver, who took the Pop to the MOT test centre after it had been through the commercial SVA test, (although it'd been thoroughly inspected by VOSA & was registered as a new vehicle, it still needed an MOT because it was built from old parts).

Where is Looney hanging out these days Huh Not heard anything about him or how he is doing
Hello! I'm still around, like Andy said, just really busy. I really should update my thread if I can figure out how to post pictures from my phone!

Hello stranger!  Kiss
Haven't even looked at the Pop for a week.
Took it easy for a few days after quite badly hurting my back at work, (new van with a taller step in & out of it -think I stepped down & turned at the same time in a hurry to open the side door & pulled something), & since then work's just gone absolutely crazy. Everybody's buying their whole Christmasses online this year & we're delivering it all. Haven't finished work before 4.30pm for 2 weeks now. Got absolutely drenched in ice cold torrential rain today. By the time I finally get home I really don't want to go out again. Need to crack on cos I'm already late for the re-wire deadline (I've seen the guy & told him it'll be January now), but not going to make myself ill doing it. It's a hobby -I think Smiley

Haven't worked on the Pop for a couple of weeks now. Just haven't had the time, or by the time I get home from work I've been too knackered. I haven't given up at all, just been way to busy at work, but I'm planning on spending Christmas day in the garage, (I don't celebrate it).
Spotted another Pop pick-up on Facebook today. Seems there's a few being built at the moment.

Yeah, my lock-up's at the far end of a block of garages. It's a dead end, but you'd be amazed how many people drive in off the road & right down to the end of the yard, then just turn around & go back out again. I'm convinced there must be drug dealing going on there when I'm not about or something.

I is. I'd offer you a ride matey, but I'll be going on to visit my Mum in Christchurch afterwards.
Well worth the trip though if you haven't been before -Romsey, not my Mum's, although that's always nice too Smiley

I can't go anyway I'm going to see my Brother and sister in law. Both have been under the cosh just lately. Sister in law has had seven weeks of Pneumonia,Pleurisy and Bronchitis plus a short stay in Hospital. And my Bro has got (don't laugh) Clumpy Platelets, sounds strange but if they can't clear it up he might have to have a Bone Marrow transplant. So this is the first time they have felt up to visitors.

Yeah, Louise, my occasional, long distance girlfriend, is spending Christmas at her son's hospital bedside, (complications after a bowel transplant mean it's literally life or death). Makes you realise how ridiculous all this Christmas kerfuffle is. There's more important things in life.

Couldn't agree more Andy..life and death don't stop for Xmas ..just highlights how families now break up and fragment away due to conflicts etc.. Undecided
