Did it get to you safely then, its come along way. When are you fitting it then..

[mayevora]

It arrived and I’ve taken straight to James at South West Lotus and left the Evora with him for a few jobs. He’s going to paint the uprights on the wing body colour and put a nice big white LOTUS decal on the wing and also Union Jack endplates and fit the brake light.

I’ve also asked him to remove the steering wheel and send it off to be recovered in alcantara with red stitching- the same as the rest of the inside of the car.

Probably won’t see it until January now but no hardship this time of year.

😊

Should look super mean with that on.  Looking forward to seeing it.

How to frighten your builders - Take a photo with the flash on whilst they are up in the roof space playing with the house electrics 😈🤣.

[Barrykearley]

Them builders can’t even put a bloody roof on - for gods sake keep them away from electrics

[march]

Different builders @Barrykearley. The roofers now the boss is back on the job are doing a very good job thankfully.

The circle of life.  Fabrizio Giugiaro has bought the white S1 at Stocks, but when he came to check it over he didn't like the way the carbs were performing, so I went in to sort them out.  So, I work on a lovely example of my childhood dream car and it ends up in the museum in Turin.  It's nothing really, I know, but I'm pretty made up about it actually.  😁

Finished our Christmas job today. Can wind down for next week now.

You know you've made it when you have a kitchen island.

[Chillidoggy]

That island looks like it’s been Photoshopped in.

[andydclements]

I was thinking there's a bigger problem if Pete's now going to put his feet up and rest until Christmas. All the cupboards are empty, there's a lot of work to stock those else it will be like Cratchit's Christmas.

[Chillidoggy]

Cratchit never complained.

He's still got to paint the other cupboards to match it. No rest for the wicked and he's been very wicked I bet!

@Sparky " nothing really"  that's an understatement...What a buzz you must have had, wow !

I hope put your name on a post it note and shoved it under the drivers seat for future generations to find

Didn't even get a decent pic!  Fabrizio did ask for a video of it being throttled up after the work, so my grubby mitt enjoyed its 15 seconds of fame.

[andydclements]

@Sparky a hand model, who'd have ever thought it possible? (outside of patients being helped by mental health services).

Was going to post this in the "what made you unhappy", but now it is here.

Last weekend (5/12), was warming up for the first hockey match since the (stupid) lockdown. @thebartman - you playing yet?

Hit a ball - and an acute pain in my lower back. Hobbled off, and played 10mins first half, 10 mins 2nd. Absolute agony during the week. Took 5 minutes to get out of bed, transition between sitting and standing was really painful.

Doctor on Wednesday said possibly slipped disk or sciatica. Have been on ibuprofen and prescribed painkillers for the week.

Yesterday, watched my son play hockey in the cold and rain. My back started to feel fine, and this morning could get of bed with very little difficulty. Still got pain in the back, but compared with a week ago - tis nothing

Umpired two hockey matches today, with no problem 

 

 

[thebartman]

Ouch, @ChrisJ,

I played 1st game in 7 weeks yesterday, now walking round like a bloody cripple. Achilles hurt, Hamstrings hurt, glutes' hurt and I had a golf lesson at 09:30 this morning that went down the tubes .... - was accused of not putting in enough pre-lesson effort ....  

🤣🤣🤣

 

Glad you have used your experience to find a way through the pain barrier ...   'bout time you learned that you're not 16 years old again though ....  ho hummmmm,

Fab that you could umpire, as without - there would be 22 (+rolling subs) that wouldn't get a game ...

Roofers finished and gone, scaffolding also gone. Life is looking a little brighter, especially once I have cleaned the windows .

Just collected the keys for our second Dartmoor holiday cottage. Maple Cottage is a Grade 2 listed barn conversion just outside Chagford. It’s been empty for a couple of years and needs a bit of TLC. hopefully we’ll be on the market around Easter. Woohoo to us😊
