I just shot Margret thatchers bus,it seemed like a good idea at the time.
In fact it clinched the deal.
Interesting day rap movie booked an paid for landrover of to weapons development with a special film grade 3 hour respray, tell me what you think. Meeting about a drama with the BBC looking very exciting, looks like we have just sold Maggie thatchers bus. We did a walk round for the customer, and you rabble to of course.
Got to grips with big willie yesterday. A very tricky thing to drive or maybe pilot as it’s three dimensional. Managed my first barrel roll which felt very strange I think a bottle of rainx on the wind screen would be a clever idea to help the visibility after a roll or dive.
Seems all of it’s electrical gremlins are cured and it went like a rocket,even put on sports mode a few times but I really need a bigger area of smooth water to properly let rip.
Pleased with my vintage skis and wetsuit to and my special spectator for her support and goodie bag.
Busy day in around the Afghan workshops. Mainly making good on Raffs van I bounced a wheel in to it. Call me butterfingers, if you ever need a part worn tyre of balancing done he’s your man, fast an good value.
Try going on to DVLA website to book an H test, not even a category option, feel victimised you should, It used to be your right to take and acquire an H license.
I already have one,but have you. Know the name of your local MP
My specially made H licence fleet lays idle with order book bulging.
All back in the real world beavering away except Tod still traumatised from the Bollywood wood movie if he gets over it he can then look forward to PTSD a few years down the line. Why are they always such a crap experience but your Rap artist bunch are always loads of fun.
Your a long time dead sometimes just jump in the motor with your little woman and go and play.
Not done a post lately, deep in thought. I have just been offered the uk franchise for fliteboard by a helpful guy Davaid bell in Australia he’s been giving me lots of advice about Willie my Sea Breacher. It turns out he owns the company Fliteboard, what an amazing bit of kit. It’s basically an electric surfboard, rides above the water on a leg, 30 mph for two hours. Around
£12000 by the time they get to England, they aren’t cheap but they are award winners and top of the tree.
With 8 Rottweilers all a bit smelly I’m super keen.
Who wants to play?

All flat out preparing the second set of vehicles for a Bollywood movie being filmed in Scotland.
Somebody shoot me please, just twice through the head.
Couldn’t resist spending a couple of hours on one of the barn finds I bought last week for crushing. Surprisingly everything works except the headlights popping up.
Took the ignition barrel out and the steering lock off in just 15 minutes. See if I can get a key cut, any suggestions.
List saved vehicles so far.
Range Rover 2 door camper.
Xjs currently on eBay, fingers crossed.
Anyone fancy this little racing car.
Things are going great like before lockdown, bring it on. No public driving days they are on the back burner for now. Private car crushes with small family groups or small team building days are busy and so is film and TV, weapons development, funerals, promotions with tanks and sales are all good.
Had some very good news today which will remain a secret for a while.
Slight Hiccup with the fire engine that I was buying needed it’s engine and auto box for the Saracen upgrade. There is a drive shaft between the engine and the box, how mad is that!!
A good afternoon supposedly doing private car crush for a guy called Richard for his 40th birthday
But Kate tapped me on the shoulder and told me he was the actor Rafe spall from the Rom com I GIVE IT A YEAR. Nothing gets by my girl we decided to just play along. Many of these big actors value their privacy some times.
Richard drove well, got soaked and did a spot on crush over a German car.
You can’t get better than that.
Just one more car to collect and a couple of army trailers. Bollywood here we come. Or rather Tod is going. And I love a good hot curry to, maybe next time.
The big reliant Scimiter sell off, fancy a project, get 4 nearby mates to buy one to. All do one each in a lock down restoration fest.
All about a grand each some better than others, no keys or lodboocks but nothing registered as scrapped. So just apply to DVLA if they don’t all sell the last ones get run over sideways once by 70 ton fast an furious 6 and the spares sold.
Update
Range Rover camper one of only five made SOLD
The XJS will go on eBay sun night on a one week listing starting at 99 p
If the winning bidder is a messer it gets the tank.
Young Freddie enjoyed his birthday bash Charles is a very enthusiastic Saab fan.
Grab a cheap lockdown project jag £2000 two door Rangerover £2200
Quattro £1000 choice of four scimitars £1000- £1200
Whatever doesn’t sell, we have a plan for.
We need cars for crushing. Lots of private car crushes booked, we can’t do the full monty at the moment 150 people is impossible to distance but no problem with a small family group do I gotta a crush. But we do get through some motors.
The second princess Anne scimitar is now back at the farm ready for viewing maybe another tomorrow. The two door Range Rover will be hear early evening Monday.
If you fancy a lockdown project look no further.
Bought 10 cars today some maybe to good to run over, be interesting to see what some of them are worth for restoration. Will keep you informed, also a couple of military trailers.
I’m short of hard standing so if you fancy a lock down furlough project please be quick.
All of the scimitars belonged to princess Anne, obviously.
Well Biscuit the stroppy rottie would have been history for what he did to the front of my Range Rover today but for the fact he really let rip at a shady character, I was like a proud father.
Holidays are great but so’s work, broke myself back in to the swing with some E type tinkering.
Very pleased with our new award and decided to buy a new Range Rover to celebrate. Not brand new but new to me. Custom roof no less. Your comments invited.
What can I say! I feel very proud! What an achievement. I don’t think we paid anyone for this, I’ll ask the wife 😉
Life’s all about having faith in your 20 minute bodge repair when your a mile out at sea doing 50mph.
We coped with the tons of litter along the beach the relentless crowds and the terrible pollution they have in Norfolk. Our social distancing was pretty easy. Nice to get my old ski’s wet and not my hair.
A great 1st anniversary with a wonderful wife. And a big thank you to young will and his little red tractor with out the beach monster we were cattle trucked.
Reasons why I need a Beach monster mk2. We actually took for granted just how wonderful the adapted 432 was
, it did us proud for two years giving perfect service, launching,recovering and storing the jetski on the beach.
£50 two screw in anchors ( they bent )
£250 Electric winch ( to bloody slow )
£60 snatch block ( became missile, lucky nobody died )
£110 three lots of ropes ( to elastic, dangerous when snapping )
£50 new trailer hub and bearings when my wheel nearly fell off.
£1100 new jetski hull ( labour on top, I dread to think )
Big smile on little wife’s face priceless.
Conclusion.
You can’t drag even a light jetski down a beach with ropes, winch and a snatch block. The ropes store massive energy and when they snap the snatch block launches big time. We were lucky just to get a big hole in the jes ski.
Mk 2 Beach monster project starts next week. A cut and shut 432 lengthened to take the longer more modern seadoo spark ski.
No more towing jet skis on dodgy trailers, no more struggling on the beach lugging about. No more abusing my lovely old Range Rover.
Joe won’t forget his 18th in a hurry. Lil sis Libby won’t either he saved half the car for her to crush to.
Good man Joe.
A fun day with a fun family who bought food to, does life get any better.
Majec finally got caught for drink driving, does a two year ban mean we won’t be crushing the normal 4 smelly cars a year from him.
Watch this space.
Great crush Tim, accurate and fast, whate we call a precision hard strike.
First person to take the £20 club hammer challenge to our Ruby light lenses.Tom Crawford from wheels and tracks. Very handy with a big hammer.
I have a spare blue an gold macaw £1200 with a big cage. He used to be a pet but then lived in an aviary with his girl friend. With some advice he would soon be sitting on your shoulder kissing your ear.
Please excuse the slow motion it’s to distort the swearing
