Yip a new project beckons so I’m going to sell ALL my cars & stuff (except the Bluebird, current motor bike and missy’s car…cos she’d kill
me if I did that )
It’s probably rather a lot. I’m going to spend the next few days compiling a huge list. Also still have that nice little sailing dingy looking for a
new home and a box trailer and a CG125 honda bike. I need space and money for my next toy so it all has to go, wheels, seats, gearboxes, air
compressor, sprayguns, xbox360, beachbuggy, VW Beetle project, JBA Falcon…the lot
U2U sent VW Project
show us yer wheels?
Oooh... this new project must be something special.... what is it, what is it, what is it!!!!!
yep really curious what project has prompted such a massive sale! do tell
Sounds to me like you need to have an open day with BBQ and a beer tent
just ahd a thought....
.....you're not getting married are you...?

hmm, selling everything except the bluebird, missys car and the bike? how much do you want for missy?
ha ha ha good answer
interested in spray guns though... maybe a type 9 (or the 4 speed one type e?) as a spare if you have any
yeah let me get a heap of photos taken of everything, I'll try and get that done this weekend
cheers
Nice! Wouldn't think you'ld need to sell that much to buy one though, Austin 7s are ridiculously under-priced. You see fully renovated Rubys
going for silly money.
Personally very tempted to buy one except I'm not sure they were designed for 6ft4 people with size 14 feet
Great little motors though!

Mr Whippy has just gone down a couple of steps on the awesome ladder
Next to my workshop are 3 65+ year old men who still go tractor pulling and build fast cars. If people want to buy things from you should they send the cheques to Aberdeen Retirement Castle?

Mr. Whippy, I used to have one of these, back in the '50s. Not as neat as per your pic, but at least I got it going. Had to sell it, alas.

I do unless I drive in converse boots or bare-foot..... Just in case my header tank explodes I tend to drive in the boots.... I know the boots wouldn't offer much protection from boiling coolant but something's better than nothing....
