I can't understand people who spend a fortune on models and then penny pinch with second hand batteries.

I often put them on soak test to check them before I go out.

There must be a glitch......I've e-mailed you & kicked you out of Live chat so just give it a couple of minutes.

Had a good day at work at one point we had a massive hail storm.Sold 5 cars 3 profits 2 clearouts.The hail storm reminded me you had to be careful when buying Japanese imports.Some would come in with big dents all over the roof and bonnet where they had been caught in a hailstorm.

Before our Mike passed his test I decided to take him out in this Citroen....the magnetic L plates wouldn't stick to the bonnet...it's aluminium. :lol:

We went to Mikey Admins (son) on Friday night...1st birthday of grandson "Noah".

On the way back I asked son 2 to drop us at the corner and go fill up the car.

This is what Ann tripped over....but in the dark.



This is what she got as a result of some idiot burying those cables 1mm under tarmac.at the edge of a kerb...in a bloody driveway...the car just brought them up.



Obviously a bit hosed off.

Broken tibia inside the joint and surgery to have it pinned or plated.

Knee knackered for life.

Polygunning.

Hi Phil, please give Ann my commiserations, that's going to take a while. I'll liasse with Shane to take up some of the load.

Ouch,good luck to you both

Any news about Ann yet?

The vet is still working on her but if they have to put her down he can get me a discount at a new pet store. :woohoo:

Seriously....operation is going to be tomorrow because they haven't done the CT scan yet.

Pol.

I must have done this earlier but seeing as I can't get told off (except by our new mod) I'm doing it again.......Tony, this is for you...I'll get there if it kills me, which it probably will. .....but what a way to go. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Thanks Phil, that takes me back many years, perhaps when Ann's convalescing?

Hop along here,managed the flying field but it wasnr worth flying.Loads of twitchers looking for a White Tailed Sea Eagle thats been blown off course.Couple of guys had a birds eye view(get it) of it it flew across our strip very low,they said its massive bit scary(girlies)Went to work ,came home finished the Parasol and tidird the table including (ROLL OF DRUMS) replacing the table cloth.This was no mean task as it was super glued to the table in several places.I had noticed in photos it was looking decidedly manky.Did I put it in the wash,no it walked to the dustbin unaided.Now if I can only get the large box containing the Zlin 50 downstairs I can get it set up ready to put together

Im bidding on a couple of things on Ebay so going to have a look how there doing
