Catteeclan

Hope it's not as bad as what a few of the boys on my group chat have had. Knocked them out for a couple of weeks and one got a chest infection after.

Anyone interested in silly money bikes?

Have fun.

Solar power update, I've wired 2 old car batteries parallel to try and gain some longevity. Neither batteries are alike other than coming off cars so I'm not holding my breath. I will invest in a proper leisure battery later but I must admit I'm enjoying pissing about with what's laying around. Wonder if I can hook the misses up to it, prob create a drain.

Bugga, what did I miss

That's a great action pic

How about a nice static shot I did nip to Yarmouth on the Dominator today, bloody freezing.

That's some good hair you're got there Phil.

No real surprise as the viewing figures were going up, same with Formula E. Now TNT have it you have to try and find out when it's on as it isn't advertised. The whole lot of them can do one. Edit, Ren should be in this one too.

So that’s why it’s blowing like heck again

Another mk1 escort driver here. John ######, can’t remember the instructors name at the mo but nice bloke and I loved the car. Nice navy blue, lots of miles on the clock but only a 1300.

Talking of the weather, it’s been ok here all day till about 2hours ago. Blowing and pissing down now.

Have to come back to this when I’m not disturbing the misses trying to watch tele.

And it looks the same kind of size.

No art, just mess

Productive few hours had in the sheds. F7 engine back together with it's very worn disc valve, clutch and slightly shorter piston pin as I couldn't get the right size. Rover head back with 4 new exhaust valves, inlets faced, all seats recut and all ground in. My valve spring compressor had a hard time when coming apart so I borrowed this only gem which had no trouble. Prob about 75 years old. I've had to make up a piece of wood which will sit on the under side of the head as the cam is held in with the same head bolts, that way I can get the valve clearances sorted. I'll measure up one cylinder, 2 valves, at a time only fitting the shims and buckets to those so I don't stress the camshaft. I'm told they can snap pretty easily.

Love the front, arse end looks more like a jag.

That was an interesting watch, wider lines in places and being a human horn.

Some of that actually looked edible to me.

I should take a pic of them lined up in the garage covered in dust and boxes.

Why was the colour never changed in that 20 years, I smell something. Oh, hang on that's me.

Thought newbs were vetted to a point. Maybe sign up and do nothing until bam, spam. It's been the most action we've seen in a while.

Nice one Saul, got to see some new stuff. Been cold and drizzle all day here. Stuck an injector in for a mate. Took the clutch cover off the F7 engine as it was locking up, I realised I was going backwards and the kickstart cog was engaging. Numpty.

Fuckers are in for round 2, this wouldn't happen on Petes watch.
