Got a sniff of it today after delivering a new battery, will buy a second one on Tuesday so that they have been changed as a pair, an 072 Yuasa batt @£72 inc, from CES Wolverhampton, many depots around, always ask for discount esp if vet, I always quote the DDSCard, works most times.

Monday is MOT 12.30hrs, insured today at an Agreed value of £25k, for £126 Cherished, thats the value of being a Loyal customer and of course MVT member, FJ wanted £199, sorry boys No can do, Scottish by birth remember, despite being a Grenadier !

Anyway looking forward to Firepower, a new one for me weekend after next


Cheers

I am awaiting the perfectionists Clive Ha, who will tell me why vehicle has Nuts and bolts all over panels, if your were in the MT you dont have a guess you will know?

No prizes for first correct answer, maybe a cuppa and sandbag


I knew those 14 tins of two pack paint would come in handy 2 pack IRR the real McCoy! Good old RQMS...

You got it in one ,used to be covered in Makralon (Is that correct spelling) ok for Bricks and Bottles even the odd petrol bomb, and of ccourse low velocity rounds, but high velocity it's goodnight sweetheart in many cases!

Well spotted Clive

I got a sniff of petrol from rebuilding a carb to fit on ready for the run down to Capel on Thursday, other than that, the LWT has played second fiddle to my new project for the last few weeks
