Thanks Matt. ;D ;D Wish I had today off to work in the shop. It's bloody beautiful outside. +8c (46f) today and no snow on the ground...  Pretty nice for 1 February. John |

;D ..and of course the fingers go..there is only so much heat the kettle produces So true! Rich, by -10c at the barn Matt actually means -12c. The difference being that the kettle is continuously boiled. ;D |

Sounds as if you Essex chaps need to invest in some portable heat...as I did last year.  I have two of these multi-fuel units which I purchased on Flea-Bay for 123.00 P. My toes are toasty warm. ;D ;D I managed a little work today in the workshop (between running around doing errands)...   Postal Pete's new rear bumper was cleaned up and test fitted after straightening out the brackets. A perfect fit! I will be adding fiberglass matting to the back side to fill up all the unwanted holes.  Sandra was treated to a brand new set of Vredestein 155/80 R13 tyres which I mounted on the Ronal wheels. I like the new look! ;D ;D John |

Nice wheels John. I see work has started on Sandra's bonnet too. We do have a heater, one of those portable uprights that runs from a gas bottle, albeit I have yet to see it in use.  |

Probably will not be keeping the flat black Bonnet (it's only a primer coat)...it does look "racey" though. John |
