Garage Day 2021

[Normb666]

Great - that means Fatman (me) will be undertaking this perilous mission alone, seeing as the Boy Blunder (Richard) will be flying the flag for freedom (ooh, alliteration!) Oop Norf. Better get the Fatmobile checked over for the trip South...well

That situation did flash across my little mind as soon as I read Richards post, so looked this up which you may need?

Thanks for the invite and hospitality, Phil.

Great day out! It was nice to meet you all and hear of your projects and experiences. Hopefully I'll be joining you in ownership soon!

All the best,

Mark

Looks like a great day.
That yellow car with the black wheels looks good.

Suppose I should explain that black wheels are temporarily fitted due to a peculiarity of UK car licencing laws. Apparently you can't have coloured wheels if a car's not registered, so the blue ones are presently stored away till after IVA and DVLA procedures are completed.
Also, it doesn't help that there's a problem with one of the wheels (not LB's fault), so it'd look odd having non-matching rolling things

As for the yellowness: I'm very chuffed as it perfectly matches the stripe up my back. just the job!

Once again, good to see everyone after what seems like forever, and meet some new peeps. Thanks again to Phil and the ever-patient neighbours, and a personal one from me to Craig for bringing my car on trade plates (while obviously conducting test procedures, ahem).

Robin, sorry to hear about Carol, but really hope you'll be at the Yorkshire Run in a fortnight. Does it mean the car will be running in "limp" mode??

Apparently you can't have coloured wheels if a car's not registered,

- haven't heard that one before - what's all that about then ? (not a late April fool is it?)
