Did you do the crank oil seals? They really dislike being stood for a long time.
Morning all.
Done a few of those in my time.
Probably the easiest engine ever to get out and do all on a trolley jack.
Stirling work as ever Newton :)

No didn’t do the crank seals, only need the engine to do this summer, maybe 1k as the intention is to radically upgrade it over winter if he gets on with it! If not it will be sold and chalked up to experience.

Thoughts are a 2.0 fuel injected crate setup or possibly pure electric as a uni project.

Moved into the barn yesterday... well owned in for over a month so about time.
Woke up to the sounds of the country (spending bleating sheep), and not is it dark here away from the street lights.

More box shifting now... and for the next month or so.

Congrats Peter it’s been a mission but in at last.

Morning. Work and booking hotels for the Forum Monaco trip, we had a last minute drop out so there is a place available if anyone wants it.

Morning,

Back to reality after spending the weekend at the Silverstone Classic. Still feeling sun-kissed and that's likely to last for the rest of the week. Really enjoyed spending time watching the racing and talking rubbish about cars with people. The bad thing is its got me searching for a classic Maser to compliment the Ghibli. There were some lovely cars there, the green Mexico in particular.

I supposed I should get ready to do some work. Still WFH, but probably another coffee first.

Have a great day all

Morning all. Office today, although a little tired after a 50+ miler on Saturday on the bike and then driving for most of the day yesterday to the parents and back.

Just need to take it easy this week.

If you'd like to sponsor me for my 100 mile bike ride I'm doing in 6 days :oops::oops::oops: you can at www.justgiving.com/markbuckland73

All donations would be very gratefully received. And those who have already donated a massive thank you!

Hello everyone!

That was a good weekend - Silverstone, food, friends coming over to stay and imbibing together and then meeting the new son of my best friends.
The office is crazy at the moment. There's a whole load of reshuffling with desks and offices going on. I thought being on holiday would allow it to have settled while I was away, but no... it took me quite a while to find my stuff this morning. Ah well.

HapPea Monday!

I don't have a desk, just a box with my stuff in which they move around on a regular basis to keep me on my toes - I'm sure they have sweep going most Tuesdays on how long it will take me to find my desk this week ;)

Morning,

Managed to blag it yesterday even though I wasn't that awake. Did managed to solve a couple of issues at work so that was a success. Another day working from home, probably the garden as I can stay out of the sun to avoid being fried by that large yellow ball.

Less than a week before I should be able to drive again. So looking forward to that.

Have a great day all
