Maybe you should screen around your car port to give them some privacy and see what transpires...
...maybe you'll score yourself a new 90.

Oh how I wish. Our 2 have been together for about 3 years now, occasionally for a number of days undisturbed, but nothing untoward has transpired

Mind you, there is a vast collection of bits and pieces all over the garage, which seem to appear from nowhere.

Likewise with the S11 and 107, which are both under the house. Maybe it's because Castrol is covered up most of the time and this has an affect on his libido?

Well Matilda and RED had a meeting today and she got quite close to him....maybe something is happening there...though I think RED is a tad big for little Matilda she could of nearly parked in RED's tray

Yeah - Matilda's a cougar! Thanks Harry and Glen for the help today - Matilda now has 4 working, good brakes! I can drive up and down my driveway at will now. Thanks too for your company over lunch, Glen, Patsy and Carolyn.

Yes, I think so Next step is to get her over to the ho hars and onto Errol - I won't speculate on what might happen then!

That's just droppings.

Distinguished Colleagues,

Matilda has been with the Hars and Errol for some time now, so I thought I might utilise the reams of piccies Mrs double hatch has provided to me, via email - if anyone was wondering, that is why optusnet has currently ground to a halt. And may I take a moment to thank Harry especially, but also Zulu Delta and the Colonel for their help too. Not to mention the good folk from AULRO who have donated items I required - Coops came through with the original crank handle, for example.

Anyhow - Jobs we needed to sort are listed below - many unorthodox restoration methods (known in the game as Urm's) have been cunningly utilised - indeed improvised, to achieve the following brilliant results.....

1) Getting the indicators flashing - fixed by straightening the tail gate hinges - Urm?... but Glen's happy now!



2) Change the exhaust manifold - fixed by cutting any molecule of rust out of the firewall, tig welding new steel in, sanding and generally enjoying ourselves - Urm?...



3) Actually raise the hoist and attempt to fix oil leaks under vehicle - fixed utilising classic resto form here from the well oiled machine.....The Zulu, The HarMeister and Scallops - men of action - Urm?.....



4) Next essential was getting the rear lights functional - fixed no drama by the fellas working as a team - specifically, Mr Ha adjusting the steering wheel, Scallops sanding the tail gate, Urm? (note the before and after piccys) ....



We're really in the home straight now, I feel.

5) The last item prior to rego was repairing the battery holder and attaching one of my Chrissy pressies (Bonnet stut courtesy of the Vixen) - all fixed by painting the car, Urm? ...





I'll keep you all informed.

Looking the goods Scallops... well done to all involved

Nice one, one and all.
