A movie that takes place where you’re from.
Set in the fields and hills where grew up. My house was about 5 miles from the authors village.
Never watched it, nor read the book. Likely never will 😆

Excellent day tinkering on the TR7 with my TR Register mentor Allan.
Mostly I was passing the tools while Allan and my middle kid did the work.

I've trained it that I just care about looking at posts about TR7s and rally cars. Just opened it up and here is the first post it fed me. Lovely.

All this reminds me of is playing hide and seek with my middle kid when he was 3.
“Ready or not here I come”
Walks into kitchen to find this.

How about pink? From a house a friend was looking to buy near me. I threatened to phone the local council to get it listed as he was going to rip it out.

I’ve got the apprentice fitting the new electric fan and putting the radiator back in.
Let’s not talk about me over tightening the rad clip and breaking it. New one on order, hopefully we don’t leak to much coolant over night.
Annoyingly none of the car spares places near by had the right size.

In a break from our usual programming of car pictures. It’s time to geek out at Dark Matter Day at Oxford Uni.
Excellent @xkcd.com references. And a live stream walk through of the detectors in America.

Haha what? Has the England rugby coach finally snapped?
Or has the influx of rugby league coaches leading to death of positions?
On the first point as a Scotland fan, hopefully 😂, on the second point...please I hope not.

It’s finally my birthday so I can officially wear my birthday hoodie.
Managed to sneak a selfie without my wife catching me.
BEHOLD.

I'm loving it. We're encouraged to tinker to have the full ownership experience, which is why I'm searching for a replacement alternator this evening 😬
What started as a noisy rad fan (which is now fixed) ended up with a busted lug!

It was all going so well today. Boy2 had done most of the work to get the radiator out, get the fan pully out etc. Putting it all back together was fine as well.
Then I came in to provide the muscle to tighten the fan belt.
And this happened. Off to look at recondition alternators. 😭
