Re: Resurrection of Dobbin
Oh Richard, you and Alan are so funny not, and don't think for one minute I'd let FAB go and live in yorkieland, much too far from the sea.
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Steve, you are our favourite seaman.
It's a good job there isn't two of you.

Re: Resurrection of Dobbin
When I run the bike the other day the speedo wasn’t working which was a pain cos I had restored it with a new face and outer case. Like a pillock I never thought to check it worked with the drill. I’ve spent all afternoon stripping it down again and found one of the brass helical gears stripped! No worries I though I’ve got a spare I bought so the plan was to just transplant the guts of the spare fitted with the new face into the new outer case. When I opened the box it’s only a GT500 clock which look different and is slightly bigger
I ended up stripping them both down to the last screw and rebuilding mine with the good bits from the GT clock. That’s another three hours of my life I won’t get back

Paul. Why did you ever expect it to be straightforward? As I haven't been in the garage (much) today, it appears that the fukkupfairy has moved to yours. Please don't send the git back, just pass it on to someone deserving - like Mizzy!!!

Your fairy friend stopped off briefly here today but as as everything was under control I gave the fairy clear directions to the M62, Northbound

That's buggered it. The M62 goes East/West. It's the M6 that goes jockwise from hubcapville.mizzytheman wrote:Your fairy friend stopped off briefly here today but as as everything was under control I gave the fairy clear directions to the M62, Northbound
Still, so long as he/she/it doesn't get past Saddleworth, I care not.
And there's no reason to call Paul a fairy. Air cooled rools!!!

Re: Resurrection of Dobbin
Ive emailed all the relevant information to the VJMC along with £45 (har feckkin much ) I’m sure my Kettle’s certificate didn’t cost that much?
Got a nice message back saying I will get my dating certificate back within 14 days. One step closer to getting Dobbin on the road
