OK, so we got away without using any "Wooden Alternator Brackets" or "Spring Hangers", gained a big hole in the sill(Thanx Ali :)) and the 6Wheeler is closer to MOT condition, But . . . . . 8)

have we got any pics posted to show those that "Didn't", what a lovely floor it's got now, almost, and what else we "Did"? Thanx to Pete,of course.

As for the 26th . . . . . this time, can't we pick a weekend when the Grand Prix isn't on . . . . . . . . ? :? :? :roll:
:lol:

BTW, Luke, i haven't had any PM's from you about the PAS or your eMail.
As you said you sent one at the build, i guess there must be some gremlins :mrgreen: somewhere in the works . . . . .

If the Grand Prix is worth watching now that Kaiser Vettel has walked it,why not bring a TV Andy.

the Vet not withstanding, i still enjoy the scrabbles for 2nd and 3rd. But then i'd do less than i do now and the idea is to get the van finished not watch TV.

Different dates Please!

Besides Luke make a big day of it when it's on!! :lol: :lol:

Hi Andy,I plumped for that date as I thought that it was far enough away for everyone to think about.A few are going to Nov 5th Bonfire at Biliing,including Luke.(and who else is going to do the extra welding,please Craig don`t offer :lol: :lol: )19th is not good for me now anyway and I thought someone else had problems with that date.13th is Rememberance Sunday so might not be good for some.Maybe into December,but is that taking the p**s a bit asking Pete to store the van that long??We do have to make sure that Pete and Andy are about too.Wives and partners then start talking about the "C" word and going out shopping,not mine though fortunately
What dates are best for you,Matt and Tim??

Both Luke and i have put up with missing the GP up 'til now, so i s'pose we can put up with it for another one! 8) :lol:

Are Pete and Andy OK for the 26th.

Pete? Have you got an ariel wired in the garage? :? :lol:
i expect you could get it done for the 26th if you haven't . . . . . . :lol:
i'll have to go down the surplus and get a few sets of longjohns and a new pair of overalls. 8) Well? It's time isn't it? :lol:
