Morning.
Lovely day here too. Unfortunately the missus has appointments, so can't go out for the day. I'll be looking after the little one at home.
Will be knocking off a bit more render, but can only do about an hour a day now as its playing havoc with my arthritis in my hands. And to add to that, I'm now waking up with trigger finger in 3 fingers on one hand and 2 on the other, I must be getting old!:rolleyes:

On the plus side... Might see if I can get my larini X pipe fitted during her nap.:D

Morning all. Office for a bit. Then off to a meeting in Edmonton.

Just found out that my eldest son passed his driving test at 8.30 this morning. Those in Essex you have been warned!

Morning everyone, back now and been chasing my tail trying to catch up which hopefully today I will achieve.

Strad still on a transporter somewhere back to the UK, cleaning will be the first order of the day.

So today was all about checking out L’Apance river with a view to using it on the big challenge as the closest at the crossover point from climbing canals to going with the flow rivers to the Mediterranean. It is a good size river but in it turns out a very neglected state. Benny watched me set off with much hilarity as it wasn’t really deep enough and I quickly needed to exit to get over some stones bits. I did 13km in 3hr 40 min with so many exits from the boat to get past obstacles, many fallen trees and abandoned industry like water mills. This in itself causes problems as in disrepair the gates are not maintained so the levels above are low. Anyway I got cold ad tired ad communications were lacking but Benny took pity on me and found a closer extraction point than planned. Looks like he did some rallying whilst he was waiting!!!

Well I am no longer an Aston owner! Has the V8 Vantage for 4 years and loved it. Great car, well made and reliable. Also, availability of parts was a bit easier.

But now to find what's next!

Hope everyone is doing well

It's Thursday morning here. About to take the 3200GT on a 'Morning Tea run, with some local petrol heads. The new s/s mufflers I made are a bit noisy make a beautiful sound, and only cost me $360 !:)

4 years...Crumbs where did those years go. Was it easy to sell Rossyl....So many unsold in the classifieds as with most V8's. Sounds like trouble free ownership and you enjoyed it. I will have one one day. Look forward to hearing what you do next.

Good morning all.
