kaput in Deutschland

[mossypossy]

we had a weekend away in winter with the original brown lino, then a week in cold Wales with the carpet

carpet makes a huge difference to comfort levels, whatever the colour

cheaper the better then you throw it away when it gets skanky and use it to cut a new template

You were when you went in, but not when you were chucked out. It was that sort of boozer, more an Arfur Daley sheepskin coat place really!

Just plain carpet when new, got the pattern 2 weeks later, from bloodstains and Snowbird-like Technicolor yawns.

Update

Going to get a remanufactured engine, shipped over from Italy.
Cost about 2 grand for engine, about £700 to fit

Decided to actually get the van fumigated and valeted on the insurance claim and live with the current fabric. Who wants to be "on trend" anyway?

Things are happening again. Should be ready for Christmas.

To offset the cost I may sell some hifi equipment that I never use anymore. An old Linn turntable. Might even sell a car as I have too many.

I had one too, it smelt of camel p1ss & it didn't help that I wore it right through the blazing summer of '76 because I thought I looked sooo cool in it, when in fact I sweated buckets.

I lived in a grotty ground floor bedsit and hung it under the stairs & donned my greatcoat during a really cold spell, when i went to retrieve my afghan it had gone pea green with mould, bugger it I thought, I'm gonna be different and wore it anyway. By 'eck did it stink, so I poured pachouli oil all over it, people were always sniffing around me but I didn't care.

It was only when I couldn't get a girl to go out with me that I got rid of it - didn't help much though!!

A linn is the best turntable prouducing analog sound better than digital clap ,mind you cartridges are expensive at up to 2 grand.

 

[mossypossy]

£6 for a fumigation bomb

Hobby Spotted

Today in Eastbourne with the registration

H10BBV

Trying too hard?

 

[mossypossy]

Even better

Insurance are now giving me £500 for a skylight and a new shower door lock.

They are also sending two men round to give the interior a fumigation and deep valet at their expense.

Replacement engine now ordered.....ouch.

Going for replacing the whole lump, complete with new injectors and fuel pump.

 

[trevskoda]

It will be like a new un, as soon as you get the donky fitted you could be off again.:camper::dance:
