    Went up to SGS Aircooled in the bus to have a chat and book in for an MOT on the way home from work, after a quick blast through the edge of the South Downs National Park.
    Found them busy trying to make a Beetle fitted with a last-minute 1641 with twin Dell 40's sound exciting for their stand at Beachdubbin on Sunday. Was sounding like a vicars tea party. I believe the exhaust is being worked over now.

    The proper engine for that car released piston ring pieces during an oil change .

    Fixed the oil temperature sender which stopped working on the way home from SGS.

    Its a tinned brass tube with fittings soldered on the end inside the plastic bit.
    I snapped it by kinking it a while back. Finally gave up today.

    Back together now

    Good that justifies my £9k agreed valuation :)
     
  7. Hope you took it, the bottom has fallen out the market for old rotters.

    Unpacked it after the weekend and had a look at mileage vs petrol receipts: 24.9mpg up to Rotherham and back.... motorway driving between 50 and 60 obviously suits 'im. I'm happy with that.
    :)
    Bring on the next camping.

    Thought it was an auto-correct error, I live in Rotherham and try and avoid coming back.
     
  15. Tried out the new sun canopy - seems a bargain for £50. Bunting courtesy of Mrs P - I took it down as soon as she went back indoors. 20190805_171627.jpg

    Also works as a weather break if needed

  19. Thrashed back from Bournemouthfordford in the pouring wind and rain, loaded to the gunwales with crap. Never missed a beat. I might forgive him his earlier...indiscretion.
