Hey Folks! Another week, another weekly chat, your place for stuff that may not warrant a full thread, or stuff that is just going on right now that you want to share. Looks like show season is officially open, with Ultimate Dubs happening the weekend just gone and Volksworld happening next weekend. I'm heading to Volksworld for the first time in a few years, in the esteemed company of rmad , which I am very much looking forward to. As I said in last week's Chat Thread, the Proboards decision not to roll out V6 has created some headache for me, so I've got to pick up a project I shelved a little while back. However I'm pretty confident I make it all work. Previous Thread: forum.retro-rides.org/thread/224315/chat-thread-time-wc-06 |

I managed to successfully collect my new engine for my MGB this weekend just gone, which came with a lot of spares  So this week I'll have the task of sorting through what I need and what I can sell of the spares and of my old B series engine and parts as well |

My beetle for the Volksrod project should be here today, only delayed due to the shocking weather we've had over the last 4 days

Took a (imo) good photo. I'll add this to the other one which means I've now taken 2 good photos in my lifetime.  |

Bit of a bizarre one yesterday. Was going to do some work in a village about 10 miles away, when I turned into the lane that I knew the road was adjoined to I pulled over to check the address, at the side of the road by a field gate. As I was about to pull away a lady in an L200 pulled along side and got her phone out and started filming me as she was slowly creeping past.
I pulled along side her and dropped my window asking her what the problem was, and she rudely accused me of fly tipping!
I told her what I was actually doing but she wasn’t having any of it. I hadn’t even got out my van. I’d driven past my local tip a few miles back down the road, that I have a permit for the van anyway.
When I drove back past the field I slowed for a look but could not see any evidence of fly tipping.
Not too sure she should have been using her phone while driving though!

These are from bstardchild 's Retro Rides Show 2007 photos. Will do a proper thread as I say, but for the time being some of the track stuff, some familiar faces  I had nothing else to do other than watch the track action with my phone in hand waiting for some bloke called Keefy to ring me and say they had time for another run  Arrived late (normal situation for those that know me well) |

End of an era with these front wings being added to the scrap pile. Not really got a good reason to keep them or anywhere to store them and they're too crusty to look nice on display anywhere. Bonnet will find a home on a wall though.  |

bstardchild they might be getting a stay of execution as someone else wants them so it depends if they are saved before I'm next down there. HoTWire Probably not flamed. But not plain either. Need paint on first!
