It sound like I have got a good deal to be honest, I have looked about, just shocked me how can little bits of plastic cost so much. I’m still going to do it but maybe for next years tatton can’t afford it this year. Buy couple bits at a time. Thanks for helping me.

Got chatting to Paddy from Speedhunters on the saturday and he did a photoshoot of my caddy for a feature. This popped up on speedhunters as a preview of the quality of photo he takes.

I may be the crazy one but the white wall next door reflecting onto your van giving it a light blue stripe looks great. Not saying Id do it but it makes the side look different.

I know what you mean! I'd love to do some graphics one year for shows, if I could ever make my mind up as to what!

Met some friends for a pub dinner last night. One of the guys dad turned up...........in his vintage restored tractor!! He’d driven about 6 miles at only 12mph! Legend.

Its not quite offroad! Its a cricket pitch/village green and I drove that far onto it as that was the flattest part so I could air out.

The tractor is so cool and it was the sons birthday present to his dad a few years ago and they both restored it.

I am although its due back at intermotiv end of next week for the updated rear arms to be installed and the height sensors to be fitted and set up plus it does need to get the box lid fitted and working so thats a trip up to reflex. Also needs proper revo coding, new ecu and the clocks coding and then to the photo studio....................I fear its going to be MIA until Edition!

Just had the latest issue of PVW arrive and this was a nice little surprise.

Had to replace one of my front bumper brackets. The clips on them are not very tough and with the bumper being built on the van and subsequently taken off and put back on a lot of times it bent one of them slightly. Simple enough to do and hopefully won't need doing again.

The rollcage needs a harness bar - I had asked for one when it was being built but it got forgotten about and then changed without my approval. Its a simple enough piece but I drew it up in SketchUp so I could check dimensions and measure things that would be tricky otherwise.

Sent the drawing off to a cage supplier and they will cut and bend it for me. Simple job of then having clamps welded on and it painted.

I'll be honest, not really into the idea of that kind of trip. I always think I'll end up in prison somewhere :D
