tea boy

Life has been pretty up and down for a few months because of one thing or another but we are all still going. My dad is out of hospital now but we have had to put him in a home. I go to see him at the weekends and he is better for not being in the hospital. His short term memory is not very good now and I'm not sure he fully understands what is going on. Last weekend, when I told him I was going he looked at me and asked if I was taking him with me, it was heartbreaking. Anyway, on the way home I called in to see my mate Jamie, he has got a fantastic workshop in his back garden. He said he has a spare two post lift that I can use to fix the Doctor's and my daughter's cars on, but I will have to assemble and install the lift first. Apparently it is quite rare and was a coachbuilt estate conversion done by Abbott. As the weather has started to get a bit better, I decided that I really should have a look in the tent and see if the car was still there. When I went in last night, I switched on my work light and the thing was flashing on and off, it was like being in a disco... This was the cause. I thought, no problem, I'll strip it down and rewire it. After messing about for far too long I had to accept that it wasn't built to be stripped down. I did a bodge job and crimped the wires and taped it up. I will have to get a new lamp. After wasting all that time, and most of my enthusiasm, I started to key up the passenger side floors for a second coat of paint. That was thoroughly boring and by the time I had done that it was cold, dark and raining so I packed up for the night. I painted it tonight, after spending too long looking for the paint stirring sticks. I mixed up too much paint so I decided to use it up on these bits because they were sticking out like a sore thumb. That white sealer was starting to get dirty and it is not easy to clean, so I sealed the sealer with paint. I will have to see how I get on with the motivation, I am still feeling worn out when I get home from work but hopefully the weather improving will help. Cheers.

They look fantastic.

Cheers, Phil. Yes, things are mostly ok here. I've been a bit under the weather with something for weeks now, I've still been working, like you do, but by the time I get home I'm done in. This coupled with the actual weather has made it impossible for me to find any enthusiasm to go outside and do any work on the car. I've also got quite a large raft of work to do on the Docs Audi and the nipper's Fiesta needs some love too, none of which I feel like doing at the moment. My pal Jamie said that he has spare two post lift in his garage that I can use to do them on but the only problem with that is that the spare lift is on a pallet in the corner and I will have to install it first. I'm not looking for sympathy, I think I was just ready for a bit of a break from it. If the outside temperatures can move towards double figures, that might help to get me going again. Cheers.

Right, just stop it! The bumper on Steve's is not a 934, never was a 934 and never will be a 934. It is a narrow version of the 3.0 RS. Yours are not 934 either, Boydy. 😛 Sorry, I'm breathing into a paper bag as we speak... 😀

Do you think that Lily could give me some lessons?

I will need to confirm that, but hopefully both of us.

I can't get there for six on a school night.

The Eagle has landed.

They are dropping like flies! 😬 Get well soon, IC & Chris.

Don’t worry, he’s faxed them his order.

Ok, I forwarded the link to my man to fill in and it turned up on his WhatsApp as a blank page, does anyone know what TF I need to do to get it to him?

I was contemplating the same... 😁

Thanks, IC. That was a colossal pain in the rectum. Why t-f would there be a 1 in every box, and why would they think that if there is already a 1 in there that it makes sense to press the + button. IT wombles really get on my pecs.

How FFS!

I have no idea how to submit an order with that form. Every box on the menu has a number 1 in there, I changed them all to 0, except for what I wanted to order but what do I do now? How do I send it, how do they know who I am? Give me a clue. 😬
