Failed MOT, STOP lights not working (an electrical problem in a series?? is extrange)
Excessive play in a tie rod, one rear cylinder brake totally stuck.
Spare cylinder save the day, all fixed, let's try again tomorow!

I drove Grover, at least the chassis, early this evening; first time in years, more than I'm willing to admit to.

It was sheer bliss...

Started machining a transfer gearbox case on my milling machine, over to the lathe next to make the bush to bring it back to the right size.

A very pleasant drive back to the local fabricator's who did PGV's chassis and bulkhead five years ago to meet Alec Gunner (agg221) who needed some measurements from mine for the bulkhead that it being fabricated for his own 1960 Series II resto.

Moved a load of animal feed across the fields, warmed the engine up nicely so started an oil change........still crying!

Successfully managed to re-register on this new forum!  Haven't been around for a while.  More importantly I bleed the brakes (again!) put some insurance on her and dragged her out of the garage and drove her!  It put a smile back on my face.  Unfortunately she now has to reside outside.

A drive over to the local fabricator's to meet Richard and figure out where all the holes should actually be on my bulkhead by reference to PGV's very original one. Also took lots of pictures to establish what colour various bits should be and got to see how my bulkhead is coming along.

Broke a rear half shaft this afternoon Just pulling away from a junction on a slight incline when it went bang and lost drive. Of course the freewheel hubs were disengaged at the time so no handbrake. Had to roll back down the hill to the flat so I could get out and lock the hubs. Only had 5  miles to go back home with yellow lever down so hopefully not too much carnage in the diff. Second time in 6 years that one has snapped. Don't know which one yet as stripping it down is a next week job.

Went for a quick bit of camping with my wife 





And picked some sloes (I think they are sloes) for the first time after reading Alan's posts about them for the last 15 years!

You're not supposed to pick all the leaves off as well   

If you're not sure whether they are sloes, bite in to one. You will soon know...

Sorry, wrong tree!

They look like sloes and the bush looked like a sloe bush but my wife said  they tasted sweet. I thought they were bitter?
