Didn't run in a hillclimb. But there was a Lada 2109 with a Lancia Delta turbo motor running in the event.

Whats even more worrying is that only 4 out 43 AV vendors pick it up. :-(

Well done on the CC on the 75.

Accidentally erased all my contacts off my Orange SPV :-(


Luckily, I had my old SIM card so could copy the contacts back! :-)

Hmm, might need to see if I can find some of that stuff...Got most of it off, just some black marks left on the roof top so far.

Well...the parts of the roof you can see, the top is another story! I need a longer ladder to get at that though!

Replaced the chrome coated winch bracing bars with some stainless ones the FiL had made up for me

Planted little shrub

Removed a couple of Lillies from the front garden and replanted into some pots to see if they grow ok.

Split the Hostas (not sure its the right time of year, but will see)

Went the garden centre and picked up some fresh top soil to go with the replanted Hostas

Did a tip run.

bought this

(not from this site but machinemart won't load)

And today attempted welding for the first time, a few bits of mild steel 2-3mm thick. Cant break the welds with a hammer so I don't think I've done too bad :D .
A bit messy though :oops:

Hmmm, reminds me that I still need to find the bits to fix my welder! Especially now we're getting back into the decent weather and with a new project to start! Going to have to make a start sharpish too if I'm going to get it done by the end of the summer!
