Morning all can't believe we're in May that's 6 months I have been back in Europe since leaving New Zealand.
Can't believe how quickly the time has gone by.

Adam, I take it this clever ventilation is drilling a hole in the light fitting?

Exactly! Well, at first. And then they vent in warm air from the engine. I haven't asked how much bhp this will sacrifice.

Cheers, I’m ruling out footballers as I’d be subjected to talking to them lol. Going to try to get to commercial.

Learn to fly a longer aeroplane and make sure they sit at the back.

Well done on the PPL and best of luck with the rest of it.

I also have an excuse for being quite slow.

Morning all, it is more that I’d got to mopping up jobs on my rolling list! Part of the new work is winning the annuals at Newham (115 sites) which going by the first few sites I’ve seen is going to generate masses of work!

Off to the Hampshire coast in a bit then two schools in Farnborough to maintain equipment at.

Maserati news; ordered a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S XL for the back as the Vreds on the back wouldn’t last the day at North Weald on Tuesday.

Have fun all...

Morning all, second offer on Irish house with big garage rejected - not going to offer more will have to to wait to see if they change their mind if no better offers come in over the next few weeks.

Is it anything to do with Newham council ? What line if work, I dealt with the electrical/security/fire etc for most of the borough for the last 6 years. With the greatest respect I’m glad to be away from the area now.

Morning all.

Office today, hoping for a call that says the Jag is now fully fixed after the incident with the French lorry. The god-awful Vauxhall Viva I'm driving is officially the worst car I have ever driven.
And I've driven some ****!

Not much happening work wise. Just a waiting game at the moment.

Parks/housing play areas essentially, plenty of fires but mostly in basket swings and roundabouts!

Bu99er, just had a call back, Michelin are not releasing the next batch of 4S XL until the 8th May so I’m going to have to chance North Weald on the threadbare Vreds! Better stick the pressures right up then and take my Winter wheels as spares to get home!

Oh well, I haven’t done the tie bar replacements yet so probably for the best!

I wonder if they do these in French so I can learn the language ?

The PS4Ss are a bit hard to come by.

By the way, is a Y speed rating up to 186mph or over 186? I'm getting conflicting messages and need tyres rated over that. Not that I'll go that fast, but they need to meet the manufacturer's spec. Rated to sub-186mph fails. PS4S all seem to be only up to 186.

Good morning guys, start of a new era for me today (so it feels like) should finally be receiving my PPL licence from the CAA today. Also enrolled on the theory course (books should also be arriving today) roll on 1-2years of study (ok not overly looking forward to this bit although it’s all about the end game)
Car is back at Maserati so should hopefully come back with it’s oil tears all dried out.
Have a good day all and enjoy the sun, summer is nigh.

Good luck with the PPL. Where are you based and what do you fly?

Good Morning from Malmo.
That was a hard night with 13 hours of graft done.
Night night all.

Good morning everyone, Friday at last.

Before he posts the Friday song, here Robert Smith's version

Felonious Crud · May 3, 2019

Good morning, good people of SMland. Friday, fank gawd. Working from home. Well, that was half-true. Well, maybe 3/4 true.
