    House Move

    As some of you know we are planning to move house despite the first sale falling through !.... we are, Fingers Crossed all concerned sign the contracts on the due date, back on track to move.
    So today I started to prepare the models for transport again !..... there were a few casualties, mudflaps, door mirrors, aerials roof spoilers etc falling off so they will need gluing back on before being displayed again.

    Taking the models out of the display cases, cutting lengths of bubble wrap, placing the display cases on their back and carefully laying the cars back in.... what a ball ache !

    All very well for the Models in their cosy wrapping, but that plant needs a drop of water?

    Phil. Good luck with the move and the models.
    If you can't do your traditional garage day, just shout and Skipton will be available.

    Make sure the display cases are well fastened to the (new) wall Phil. Oh, and someone trustworthy is lifting and carrying!

    Very generous of you to move just so you can host bigger Garage Days Phil

    Joking aside, fingers crossed all goes to plan. Only done it 3 times, but I bloody hate buying houses......
