Thanks mate. It suited me..... Very best from all of us to all of you!  Thanks George, hope yours is and was good. Thanks a lot mate. Hope you had a good one too. Brilliant guess. But alas, not quite, though it was offered to me for scrap value. I actually have forwarded the Micra lead to another member on here who lives down the road in Canterbury. So hopefully it joins the RetroRides family soon. Ohhh, and it has 3 doors PS: Galaxy will be for sale. Oooh exciting I did see you mention something had turned up you wanted Good on the micra lead ...I do fancy a little project car but rebuilding a 1960 lambretta and that’s taking up time space and money I wanted the Micra, BADLY but have too much stuff to deal with. Merry Christmas mate. Thanks for all your posts and write ups. It does keep lots of people entertained!! We are of on a roadtrip from Monday. From our place in Greenbank to Armidale to Dubbo, Talbingo, Narooma, 1mile, Coffsharbour and Byronbay and then back home on Jan 14. Should be around the 3600KM. Cheers Travel safe and take pics for those of us stuck here. Merry Christmas mate. Thanks for all your posts and write ups. It does keep lots of people entertained!!

. As Paul Y always said..... BOOOOM...! Some of you will know, because of inner circle privilege  that I may have spunkied some cash on a new car. Keep it to yourselves for now inner circle. Please. Thought a COVID-19 teaser was appropriate here. I will be selling the Galaxy as soon as I have moved the registration plate on it, to the new car. The Rezin Rockit can keep its own thread because it is a silly, fun thing. Picture of what a 21 year old, 38500 mile cars underside looks like on the MOT ramps an hour after I bought it. Guessing and replies on a postcard below. .JPG) THANK YOU FOR FRIENDSHIPS ANF SUPPORT THIS YEAR. Just need to go fetch it now. .. |

So it's a 1999 car and either rear or 4 wheel drive. Looking at the step in the floor pan it looks like a pick up. Hot or cold?

Currently driving a '68 Karmann Ghia as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

I will only fetch it on 01012021 so that I don’t pay the government a months rent for moving it down the road legally. |

Well. Christmas came and went. Zero stress, thanks to Sally cooking us a leg of lamb based roast dinner that had me making weird noises with every mouthful. It was spectacular. With her cars engine expiring in April, costing her £2000, then her boiler went for £1800 and some other crisis I cannot recall, but all culminating in a pretty bad 2020 So we decided no presents, no frivolous washing, which is not really her way. All of this meant that she spent time at her place sewing, and I worked on fine tuning the carport some more. Weather has been chilly the last few days, with a keen breeze, but 4 top layers and some long John’s under my tricky pants, and a woolly hat and garage gloves..... toasty. First thing was to complete the frame at the rear, stabilising the sheets. .HEIC) Then the back corner where I plan to have a door or curtain to keep the last of the weather out, needed a bit of clear conservatory roofing . .JPG) Screwed into place. Chuffed. .JPG) .HEIC) Then called Sally out of the warm house to help me unload and move the tall cabinets under the roof. .HEIC) All four in, and about 20mm short of getting the right hand unit, slid in behind the steel upright post, so quick dismantle of the sheets against the shed, a spacer fitted and screwed in place. You will notice the right hand side still had a small gap where you can see the hedge. .HEIC) Then moved them and the small units into position. .HEIC) Looking in just as light failed, I felt pretty chuffed with what I have managed to achieve the last few months with help from various friends, some for minutes, some for longer. .HEIC) Once again thanks to all who had and have a hand in this build. It will keep a lot of the weather out and afford me a dry place to work on the Rezin Rockit and other builds, including the 66 C10 patiently wair]ting its turn. Tonight it seems we have a storm and possibly snow by tomorrow. Life is good, yes, really. |
