I tried a UK agent (zero interest in helping) Then emailed Extang directly. A decent, prompt reply. Followed by two more emails from me, asking about leads to other 🇺🇸 based suppliers, it became apparent that they have stepped away from that product. So it is up to me to find a replacement as I do not really want a tri-fold cover but would considder an affordable (read cheap or used) one piece. Email from Extang Good morning Rian, Thank you for contacting the Extang Corporation. I am sorry we discontinued the Blackmax on 2/26/21. It is no longer able to be ordered.

	Don't Extang have any US agents/suppliers that may have a NOS cover in stock?

	Summit list a number of covers similar to the extang that you are after, might be worth a look?

Happy to go with any brand, as long as they actually are the correct fit. A £400 gamble is too rich for me.

	So with my back beating me up, but improving for sure, I continue to have to modulate what I do. Currently the plan is to move the driveway over by 18” or 450mm in the centre so I can reverse cars or large trucks down there. So I have cut the hedge back hard as well as the shrubs. Down the drive, so that the drive van be moved. Hurt my head. While hacking away, and having two lodgers now, one with a Vito van, and one with an electric bike, no....not Dirty James, that needs to come through between the cars and to the lockup at the rear, I relised that my front hedge was 12” or 300mm too wide. On Saturday I ended up cutting three times as much as planned, and my back told me about it. Then on Tuesday morning I was out there by 06.15 to carry on cutting the next part of the hedge. I cut it back hard down by the garage as well, gaining some space. Then down the side of the garage. I think all of this, though gardening in effect, means that I can get on with real jobs, including garage work as they chores are put aside for a while. I also noticed two Starlings up in the small window in the garage loft the day before No idea how they got in there. So once cleaned up, I went up there to see if they were catchable....... I found one dead, and the other one just sitting there on the windowsill. So I took them both out, released one, which flew straight back to the nest under the eaves. Lastly, a couple of sunsets. Of course I was sore, but hotwater bottle, icepack and pills..... Sorted.

	After who knows how long..... And it has been close to 8 weeks, the DVLA has changed the S10 plate from the Y-Reg it had, to the number I bought some time ago. I will fit the new plates and surround from Gary in America later today, if I get time. VERY INTERESTING TO NOTE THE SPACING OF THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS. I WOULD SAY THEY ARE TOGETHER. Yes, I am pleased it has been done. Why so long though?/ FK.

	I can only guess that it’s something to do with a physical check needing done by a human for some reason or other. Maybe because it’s an import. I sold our Octavia two weeks ago and taking the dateless plate off took me five minutes online, and the replacement V5 arrived three days later. Putting the plate onto the new car was similarly speedy. All I can offer in consolation is that, as/when/if you want to move the plate onto something else it should be as easy as a few clicks.

Thanks Glen, It is on, wrong, dependant of how you read the DVLA instructions Hopefully next time will be easier

	Right..... Left.... Road trip. Randomness. So a restless night, followed by getting up by 04.40, shower, shave etc then out the door by 05.40 Absolute pleasure of a drive up to the destination and meeting point. I pulled over just before getting there for a walk and break. Then drove on, to our meeting destination. I thought it was cool as a meet up for the bikes Thanks Matt pegasus for thinking of that, and coming to meet me and deliver the bikes. Including natural security I sneaked up the one way passage to use the toilet. And found this, never seen a willy washer in a public More in a moment, if I stay awake Been a long week

	So when Matt pegasus got there we started with the traditional exchange of gifts. Matt got very little, I got some used number plates to trade or add to my collection, and also an item I was recently contemplating buying off Marketplace....... Clarke Parts washer. Then we unpacked the mini bikes Followed by a “BIT OF A PHOTO SHOOT.” After this, they went into the car, and we went indoors at the museum, used their facilities followed by a 90 minute chat, walking around the gift shop, drinking very good, and certainly affordable coffees. These were my first shop bought coffees since March last year, and the price was good at under £3.00 for a large Latte Looking at key rings, cups, gifts etc, the pricing surprised me, really sensibly priced. I do love robots, and found this one.... no, did not buy it. And then a few random pics. Some beauties here. Incredible detail and beauty. On leaving I saw this plate that made me grin, bike ridden by a pretty gnarly old guy. Saying our good byes, we headed North and South. The road back was a touch slower than coming, but loads of interesting things popped up. I also stopped in Brentwood to pick up a bunch of stuff More in a bit for those who are still here.
