I'm back

Greetings offers . . . . how are you all ? . . . I've been absent for some weeks again due to mucking about with cars again.

A young lady asked me to fix her 1997 Ford Puma . . . the alarm had been going off and draining the battery . . . her boyfriend got a pair of wire cutters and made a right mess of the electrics . . . the car would start but as soon as the lights were switched on the engine died . . . the poor girl has been without her car for 6 months . . . needless to say I fixed it for her and it's running fine now.

I now have a degree of fame . . . the local "Falkirk Herald" did a feature of me this week about me restoring the old Daihatsu jeep 2 years agao . . . yeah, a whole half page write-up . . . now the "Stirling Observer" want to come and do a feature too . . . .

Oh lord it's hard to be humble, but I'm perfect in every way,
Each time I look in the mirror, I get better looking each day,
To know me is to love me, I guess I'm a heck of a man,
Oh lord it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin the best that I can.

I envy you your humility Denis, at one time I was arrogant, but I got over it and I'm pretty much perfect now...

Re: I'm back

Denis matey, in a couple of weeks time there will be the 'Old Crocks' race from London to Brighton - all cars built before 1910. As someone keenly interested in motor vehicles are you by any chance taking part in this race this year???
