Had to at the workshop this morning to take delivery of 3 sheets of steel, of course while I was waiting my pallet delivery turned up at home. I did ask him to drop it outside my garage but there was a car parked in the entrance so no chance of backing a lorry in. Now I have to wait another day for delivery, thing is there is no delivery time on tracking.

Moved my next hot rod build to my workshop yesterday with the help of friends from hot rod club ,the Last of the Summer Wine car transport!! well Nick is same age as me 70 and Brian is in his 80s (still drag racing) . Treated them to a brew in the pub opposite after as well as an 1/2 for me ,we all earned it. Bumper and o/s front wing removed by 4.30 with the aid of a grinder as all the fixings are rusted solid. Today everything aches!!!!

Fixed the wipers again on the Austin/Omega, hope the soldered joint on the conduit holds this time. Have some MAP gas this time so got it hot enough. Checked over engine and its not lost any oil or coolant over 600 plus miles (speedo out as reads 25 when it should be 30 but my maths no good enough to work out %) . Trip says 560 and that was 2 tanks of fuel, last trip towing the caravan. I am well pleased with the engine/gearbox as it drives nice and smooth with a good burble at low revs and a full on sound on full chat.

Used my card twice this morning, usual Thurs shop for fuel and food. Rang motor factors to pay my a/c and card declined over the phone , managed to talk to the AI on banking and got no where apart from you need to enter pin number to unblock card as its been used to many times (no it hasnt) so walked to chemist as I needed to pick up prescription and a few bits. Used card with pin okay, still not working over phone but maybe it takes a while to work through system? Anyway pissed me off, also rushed out this morning and forgot to take the clothes I bought online from M&S that turned up with security tag still on. Will have to wait till next week now as not wasting 1/2 a day to go to town and get it done.

Towed the teardrop trailer to Santa Pod Friday, Omega engine made short work of that but bolts came undone on l/h down pipe to silencer flange so was a bit noisy! Fixed that okay at the track, then on the way back home the wipers packed up as we went past Coventry. I just stuck behind my mates trailer lights and I could see white lines okay, flat screen in the Austin helps but it got a bit iffy on the M42 and M5 as it chucked it down. My mate got the web down as well doing 60 ,when I messaged later he said it was bad enough seeing where he was going in his T6 camper so to keep up with the hot rod was well done.
