Is she thinking of the one's with pink fur around them?
Well done, whatever the feck your talking about.
Welcome back Al. Feeling better? Wammers has been a bit quiet of late.
I won an e-Bay auction for a P38 Towbar with unused electrics cable.
The Witter towbar for the car is c.£289 inc. fitting.
I got this one for £74.
Bit odd. The P38 has a swan-neck one that bolts on underneath.
Oh bugger. Perhaps I've been had. LOL
But the Witter one looks similar as do several others, so hopefully I will be OK with it.
I shall report back.

Oohhhh .....What style of Archery was this? Traditional Longbow, Recurve or Compound?
Before I broke my shoulder I was a keen Archer.

I'd gladly have given myself a double compound fracture on this Archers face.

Getting there mate, another specialist on Friday, was nice to be in the sun and got a bit of painting done but had to start at 8 and finish around 11 because it was HOT. Tony said he's rough so I'll give him a bell soon.

Are we all ill?? I just had a ruptured appendix, then one week later Gallbladder problems, went to Cyprus for 2 weeks, not long been back bit of rest and sun helped a lot, been waiting for 3 months for the operation, and on say got the call, going in at last on the 23rd to have it taken out, sometimes it can hurt so much not even pain killers can stop it

Head cracked... Thankyou God...!!!!!
Today I peered underneath my 17 YO P38a to see where the recently acquired tow-bar should go. I wish I hadn't looked, never seen so much rust collected together in one place.
The miracle is that at least it is still flying in formation as it were. LOL
Its probably not that bad but I am not looking forward to clambering right under there to find out. Luckily, my Brother in Law is an MOT tester so in due course he can give me the details of anything not good enough.

Bit the bullet and called the electronic engineer wizard and asked him to bring his magic box. The nearside front EAS keeps playing up. Intermittently rising by 2cm. A quick reset puts it back to normal,then when she feels like it it goes up again I knew a few weeks of all quiet was too good to be true.
