I got side tracked from my 'to-do' list today when I found yet another huge storage box full of ....... 'might be useful in the future but never is' junk! So, does anyone, or know of anyone, who collects Corgi little model cars? I have got two still in their boxes ( which are very bashed up) from 1985 I think. They were collected as freebies given away when one bought a certain amount of petrol.

1. Is a Jaguar XJ-6 in British Racing green. As new and never played with - still in bashed box.
2. Is a BP Ford Wrecker Truck - yellow and still as new with the hook but the box is bashed up.

They are now collectors items and worth a ruddy fortune.

I have to do mine due to my meningioma, so since I was 59. and the worse thing is it comes up now, again due to Covid, in the middle of the summer when we are abroad. AND it depends on my neurobod pulling his finger out.:rolleyes:
Pre Covid I managed to get them organised to do it in the winter. :(:(:(

There’s nothing like a failed hill climb, the excitement of not being able to see where you are steering as you slither backwards with 4wd and diff lock buttons pushed while all four wheels are trying to dig in and get a grip :)

I had a slide once with a brand new 80 grand manitou, I cant remember what I was doing
but as I was going down the new slipway the I felt it starting to slide oh feck, I touched the brakes
they locked up and off it went faster gaining speed as it went :eek:
me in the cab NOooooooo no no no no ffs no no nooooooo roughly 60ft it slid
as I pumped the brakes like an abs pump & putting the boom down & tilt the forks ready to push
it backwards out the drink o_O it stopped just at the end of the slipway before it dropped off the end haha

Nearly had a major trooser incident :eek:

Lucky no-one seen me or I would never heard the end of it haha I had a worse one than that
but to be fair it wasnt my fault really lol

In the machine boom up 18m with a set of 4 hook chains onto a IBC tank full of old engine
oil out a ship engine, the lads hooked the chains on the bottom of the IBC but didnt put the
chains through the cage at the top, once id lifted it off the ship the IBC spun 180 degrees
& popped the lid off oil glugging out onto the shoreline :eek::(:(
I had no choice to boom down & we had to flip the IBC over by hand what a mess plus the
yard owner was watching he went ballistic at me, but it was his son who put the chains on lol
 
Got insurance for the disco today with Sterling...
Business use, windscreen/key cover, personal accident, legal cover, full uk breakdown cover
all modifications listed, 430 sovs. Which was still 200 quid cheaper than flux standard policy
with a limited mileage.
Not too bad me thinks.

Sun blazing through me windows this morning so had to give them a clean (to a basic standard) as the glare was showing up all the muck and bird strikes. Then did an insulation job on me loft hatch, it is a larger than normal sheet of painted plywood to which I have added three layers of carpet underlay to the top surface. Been meaning to do that for a long while as its directly above a radiator. Should keep a few degrees from escaping and help solve the planets global warming problem. :D
