What made you happy today?

[Alfa2Evora]

These arrived today, .

Hopefully this will put an end to the supposed 'professionals' in the car repair world dropping the wheels onto the brake calipers every time they have a need to remove them. Somehow though I doubt it - they'll probably now just pull the wheel that extra couple of inches towards them then still let it drop, .

Player switching to Evora completed. The reversing camera also works as it should. New is the Alpine iLX-702D which is much more modern than the old IVA-W520R.

so coming home from car fest was not that good !!! (or fest car which it should be called ecause its more festival than it is car) back neck deep in family / business shite etc etc blah blah but then my godson has asked me to take him to his end of year leavers party in the evora tommorrow night !!! 😁

[windymiller]

one happy little lad !!! the original leavers party had to be cancelled due to a covid outbreak and poor riley was gutted so all's well that end's well

[Barrykearley]

Fantastic to use the car for such things chap 👍 bringing a bit of happiness to someone young and hopefully a future owner.

[thebartman]

^^ Quite agree.

Must be a proud Son to call upon his "Old Man" for such an important event ...  

[windymiller]

Finally got our planning permission through, so I can finally fix the leaky garage roof.

Only took 10 months, 2 formal complaints and writing to the CEO of the local authority to actually get an answer. 

[windymiller]

so in the past father in law has always done my chippy work and i help but due to his stroke his chippy days are over so "forced" to do it myself (which i know i can) i hung the doors i made the other week and finished off the boarding etc painting still to do

[Barrykearley]

You know that’s too narrow for the Evora.

[windymiller]

the idea is if the ride on goes in there theres room for another car in the garage !!! 😁

 

love that quote tho lol lol

[windymiller]

so after much hard work and too much worrying the wedding took place today !!!! all went smoothly ??? 🙄 errr no the chairs were meant to turn up wednesday (organised by the cpl's wedding planner) they actually turned up at 12.04 today when the ceromony was due to start at 12 🤪 so we switched to plan b and used some bales with blankets !!! which the guests all said was actually better !! anyway the happy couple are happily now wed !!! and dear dad said "cud a heck !!"

[windymiller]

so me again !!! today a member of the forum (who will remain nameless) took their time and effort via many emails and document swapping to get my whole shit storm family business thing a positive direction and i cant tell you the weight that thats lifted off my shoulders truly 🙄 forums can be such fab places and the people within them, the act of human kindness is thankfully not dead

[Bling]

Glad the wedding turned out well in the end

[Barrykearley]

Onwards and upwards chap - the planning consultant I use was recommended by someone on here - without question that changed my life a few years ago for the better.

Not a bad view to come through to on a morning - from our new Kitchen and decking.

[Bibs]

Nice! How's it sound? Epic?

[cweeden]

It can be quiet as a mouse or "too loud" apparently, according to my brother when I did a fly by in front of him and his neighbours to test. 😇

[Jukka]

Got Evora wing today. So I'am wingman now. Old n/a is much faster now.😄

[thebartman]

Every car goes faster if either A) it is Red, or B) is had a red stripe - 

Oops! -silly me; mine has red stripes 😉 

Welcome home Goose 🙂 

[march]

Oh good - another project (well at least it's a little one)

[johnpwalsh]

Oooh. An Allen syth. Nice.

[windymiller]

so my grandfather bought a fox weather vane way back in the day, dad as the only son with a head for heights put it up on the barn where it stayed for 60 plus years until the last few years of "turmoil" where it mysteriously vanished one day (we know who took it) not even the police would become involved so poor dad had to accept it was gone, today for and as part of his 92nd birthday we had a replica made for him !!
