Did a bit of work on the bus this and last week - replaced the rear hatch struts with uprated ( 850n ) to help with the bike rack . - replaced roof struts and fully re greased - replaced inner roof / bed struts ....all supplied from SGS ENGNEERING great service - replaced drivers side door loom wit...

The rust will probably soon return to bubble and stain the new paint. I opted to make a feature of the critical strip by making it look like it was a sort of wheel arch trim. For that area i dab on smooth hammerite (i mixed green and black to get close to the original dark green). Its a lot quicker ...

Nudist camp closed so sunning myself, suitably clothed, in my garden which is thankfully sheltered from the cold wind.

BBC news this morning shows Dr Davis covert self isolating in a loaned Bongo. His daughter thinks he is in Africa when he is 400 yards down the road in a field.

Well I never!

Best wishes to you and Chell and the family Ady. Stay safe. Mike & Trish x

Bought some decent seats from George BSpares so I thought I would rip the interior out of the Wasp and wire in the lighting etc and tidy up a few bits then it p!,!!ssed down with rain fo...

But I've been having an interesting time filling my days reimagining and recording songs and uploading them to Soundcloud. Nearly 1000 listeners now...

Very sorry to hear this. Condolences to all loved ones and rest in peace Darren.

Best wishes Ian and Marianne and thanks for updating us. Hope everything gets sorted ok at your end. Mike & Trish x

Best wishes from me also.
