Thanks gents.  



Chatting with Ric last night on Messenger, then video he sent a teaser pic.

Such a little thing......

Much pleasure.

Thanks mate.
I am still not tired of this truck.

Yesterday I used it to go to the Osteopath.

Before entering, a slightly faked smile, knowing I have walked out there like a cripple every time before. 

She really does not hurt you while working on your spine, but man..... afterwards, even getting off her table is a slow, painful,process.

Afterwards yesterday I went to a favourite place to get a few pics on the new wheels and caps.

How many times can I say that I am so chuffed with how these ended up.

Those wheels really suit the truck and the centre caps are icing on the cake, you have done a great job bringing the truck back to health. Good luck with your back I know how you feel after a session with the back cracker.

Thanks a lot mate.  

The osteopath is so incredibly gentle.  No cracking like a Chiropractor. 



A great weekend in Kent.

Sally wanted to get some plants in.

My back continues to say NO.

So she did it all.

I paid.

Strong woman.

Also on the agenda was the go kart that Sally and Mickey unloaded after telling me off and telling me to step back.

Rear wheels and axle are rusted solid, so I called on my last can of bootfair bargain Duck oil, to hopefully penetrate sufficiently.

Offset seating to  accommodate the side mounted motor on these. 

Two Nylocs, finger tightened held theone side crash protector.

3 minutes to remove.

Thats better.

Sally worked in the garden, I cooked a nice Beef Bhuna curry, now the house smells of air freshener, after having doors and windows open. 

A great weekend over all too soon.
I ove battle weary flags.

Mate Gary, Mr Zog in Florida recently messaged  me to see if I wanted his old flags before he replaced them.

Of course, I also offered to pay the postage.

Today the postman brought a box.

Surprise

Included was a t-shirt hoody I had asked him to get for Sally.

[Image: 001(716).HEIC]

Loads of things, including a new embroidered Stars and Stripes....

And these brilliant license plate screws,]]

Ideal for a personal plate.

Also happening currently, 4 houses from me, not ideal for a truly knackered back......

A partial house demolition and rebuild 

Resulting in so much free wood.

[Image: 001(715).HEIC]

All going to be burned.

Licensed to scavenge.

[Image: 001(717).HEIC]

So over the next few days, with Sally as primary donkey, I will be dragging some of this lumber home, firstly to be de-nailed and to remove all the screws, then store it for further use.

Including garden bed edging and some shoring for the new concrete driveway strips.

Weekend soon.
So.


If we go for a set of pressed steel American style plates

What plate surrounds?

One in front, one in the rear.

Certainly my choice too. 





Never took a pic of the truck at the gas station.

But.......

This was on 246 miles or 393km driven randomly, with no concern for consumption and with gay abandon. After all, it sounds brilliant when you nail it. So basically driven as badly as one could. 57 liters

Anyone want to name and shame and do the calculations?


[Image: 001(726).HEIC]





Just shy of 20 mpg I make it. Not horrific for a low miles toy, painful for a daily !

Calculated by James

And 6.0 km/l 

Or 16.4 US mpg


Never bought for the consumption, and being a weekend toy, rather than a daily I am still pleased.

And when driven reasonably sensibly it returns 27mpg with ease.
