Thumb-Twiddlin weekend ..Where they be ?

I have the tools to attack them all ...sledgehammer for the bagpipes ....
I am just lacking the pipes themselves ...From yerself ,exhaust ...water from Dellboy
Ohh well ,I'll just have to concentrate on Billie's

I can see where Chris Evans was coming from (literally) with the old Piper thing Anyway I digress, what are you going on about crowston?

I'm peeved .....Suppliers letting me down ...again ....

Motor trade suppliers can always be relied upon to .........................

I'm peeved .....Suppliers letting me down ...again ....

The supplier has had a problem locating one of the smaller hoses but will have it ready to send by Monday guaranteed

You do mean the two very small ones at the rear of the cylinder head. One straight and one with near 90 degree bend.

Can we have some more Billie pics please...

Yep that's them + one of the ones to the oil cooler .Thanks

Lee , if you are bored because you dont have the parts to work on your car, I am guessing that you were expecting a delivery. I can tell you that it is bloody cold out today working on cars, all parts and all tools are bloody cold, even in my carpeted garage.
I think I need to upgrade my workbench to be an old radiator, to keep all tools warm.

Not up here mate .Sunny and T-shirt weather .
I've just cleared and disinfected the greenhouse and sorted out some more choice bits for sale .

Pease don't mention hose's and suppliers in the same sentence please. Now been waiting 14 WEEKS for hose kit from well known hose people. After initially placing order was told it may take 4-6 weeks for hose's to be made was ok with that because of work and holiday commitments. Then after further enquires to manufacture it seems my hoses had been dispatched out the back door to a boot fair, oh well at least someone got a bargain. Winter plans ! keep the cob webs out the engine bay. First year i have thought shall i sell the alpine and thats not good !.........

Is it Pat's fault that I'm doing this again this weekend

Lee, I've got the pair (blue samco's) to the oil cooler you can have if you'll give me a pair back in due course.

Mr Crawley & Mr Boden will both be pleased to know their hoses arrived this week.

The well know manufacturer will claim they only took 8-9 weeks to produce as the month to process the order and week to deliver don't count! (allegedly).

Small consolation but I have know people to wait longer in the past. As soon as it's not blue or red it all goes haywire.

Am waiting to find out if the back door has been closed!

No, I bought them on Thursday to the proving day in case Mr Holt was heading your way, unfortunately he wasn't

They are now packed in the A610 and will be in Cheshire on Sunday morning. That's why I sent a text asking if you would be at the Northern meeting...

If not I can leave them with big MVS or any other nominated person or put them at the mercy of Royal Mail.

Let me know.
