for those who pay attention... I have a new Series III (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-chat/59511-love-em-hate-em.html#post775603).....

But Im a bit lost as to a name for it...

I was going to go scooter cause with the beady spots on the front, the paint colour and the canvas it reminded me of scooter from the muppets, then some one else said Fozzy bear for the same reasons and IVe already thought of Ms piggy for the simple reason that she has (or will be getting kermits heart).

the pics.. I know I know I forgot to take a Before open heart surgery but relax the only way you'll know its not as it was when I got it for the next lot is urm... there will be more grease marks n crud on the body work..

I am aware that Yogi bear would be more suitable as hes most often seen in that colour Fur with greenish shirts on But it must be a Muppet name, Specifically a Jim henson muppet preferabley from when he was alive.

I like Miss Piggy, not because she stole Kermits heart, but














Because your shed's a pigsty:p:D

Regarding the BCF. They where the best kind of fire extinguisher for engine fires. Squirted in as a liquid, evaporated absorbing heat, displaced oxygen, extinguished the fire, then dispersed. Beats dry powder. But unfortunately they are ozone depleting. The gas in flat screen televisions, it was announced last week, cause 17,000 times as much greenhouse effect as carbon dioxide. Yet this gas is not included in the Keyoto Protocol, as when it was initiated, there were minimal flat screen televisions in use. How do BCF fire extinguishers campare to this gas or carbon dioxide? I would keep it, but don't show anyone.

I'd go for Fozzy coz it looks "Fozzy.:)

BTW, your garage is as bad as mine.
SWMBO won't walk in it in case something falls on her :D

Nice telecom orange , fozzy fits
silly question time, that engine colour on the heart of kermit, is that the so called duck egg blue??
and your shed, doesn;t look out of the ordinary except for the richard gere upside down suspension device, or is it a treadmill or maybe a rowing machine, or a fancy 'mechanics creeper'
maybe fluoro painted stepping pads would be easier, to negotiate the maze.

In regards to the BCF extinguisher they are illegal to own, illegal to use and illegal to sell.

Here is the proper way to dispose of it correctly.

For all yellow BCF/halon extinguishers, please return to your local fire station. These will be sent to the National Halon Bank for appropriate recycling and disposal.

Was this a local vehicle Dave? I have seen an ex Telecom S III around Ipswich from time to time.

Cheers, Mick.

Thanks for the offer but no Im not... I'll speak to the Base firies and if they cant deal with it then I'll take it to the Ipswich local ones.

I dont think its a telecom one as theres nothing with logos or any remnant phone gear or bits in it and Ive already shoveled a load of crud out of the back and from behind the seats.

I just found this pic...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/Muppets-FullCast.jpg

Ive printed it out and Im going into work today to pull the seatbox out to get ready for the box pull (maybe even pull the box) If theres any other muppets that I think are more suited I'll post the names up... (IF i can remeber them)


So far Im thinking its going to be fozzy (so sayeth the polls) but I did see a faded animal soft toy at the markets that was nearly exactly the same colour...

They come up on e-bay pretty regularly - I have missed out on a Miss Piggy a couple of times and they do attract a good price.
