    New shed.

    That looks like a fine hideaway Craig. As I read the thread I was wondering how you made such a good job of it until you admitted you had a little helper :-) I bet she loved getting involved.

    Back again

    So sorry to hear the news about your father. Sounds from your post that your Dad was very proud of you and Chris. He must have felt content with what the future holds for you. Time dulls the pain but not the memories. Remember the good times and recognise your devotion to him in his later years...

    Unfortunately not. I have been to France earlier this year and just got back from the IOM. So no more time left.

    Old man looks for shamrocks.

Get used to the narrow roads, they are everywhere, but they take you to some wonderfull locations. The harbours allways facinate me. As you travel down the west coast, consider crossing...

    Damn Jobsworth MOT Test Mechanic...

    Too late - map reading skills already gone

    My daughter runs a Brownie pack. They recently did a night walk. She had a map and compass with her. As the parents dropped the Brownies off at the start of the walk one dad proceded to describe some of the finer points of map reading to her and gave her some tips. She is a mapping geologist...

    Just swapped my 2005 Passat auto diesel estate. Six months into insurance. New car is Skoda Yeti 140bhp 4x4. I was anticipating a price hike and changeover fee as seems to be the norm nowadays. I was plesantly supprised to be told there was nothing to pay. The original premium was £185. I am...

    Yet another day off . . . . .

    Nice report. Makes me envious to read. Brother in law used his CBF for a run to Switzerland, it really performed well in the Alps, and on the routes there and back (Black Forest).

    NOT RECOMMENDED!! (powercases.com)

    I have one from the local Costco. It will even start a 2.5 diesel in my camper van. Great bit of kit. Handy for the excavator/ dumper truck/ tractor if the batteries have run down.
