You do realise that there was mass panic at the Glasgow Paranoics pantomime outing when someone shouted 'He's behind you!'.

Planning a new kitchen unit, but after seeing vanvliets meths cooker having thoughts about using that type of stove rather than gas, sometimes too much knowledge is a bad thing!

life is quiet just now......not by choice, but we are heading off for the weekend to wee place called Glasgow. Was planning to arrange a day meet, but we've got so many places to go* and so little time.
So please say a little prayer for me as I will be suffering from "Christmas shopping". :lol:



* Ikea, Braehead shopping centre, Forge retail park, Parkhead :evil: , Ibrox \:D/ , East Kilbride.....visiting Scotland’s biggest undercover shopping arena, and I'm sure the wifes got other places to visit, :( and there will be a trip to Hamilton, (visiting my sister and family). Hope to spot some of youse around.

I've been living a quiet life too - a wee bit of remodelling of a couple of walls in the kitchen. The floor's coming up next.

I've also extended the heating in the van a wee bit with a pair of heated seat inserts. An excellent mod, warm bum, and fresh cool air in the face. Perfect for staying awake on long drives.

And a set of airlifts to stop the bottoming out as well.

Which Air lifts did you go for? I have been considering putting a set on ours when funds allow. [-o<

I used the AL001 kit from Matt Savage.

Clicky for linky

£95 inc VAT (for now!). Very easy to fit. Not had a chance to hit some big holes yet though - wouldn't want to really anyway! Seems to feel firmer though, running @ 15psi.

Alan - I'm flattered that you think I'd keep any car that clean - but I don't. :roll:

The sharp-eyed out there would have spotted that it is indeed a landrover chassis leg. It's a stock photo from the Matt savage website.
