Here’s hoping. There are many ash trees in this area and the majority are starting to look sick. Not all though.

Indeed. Have you had a re-shuffle since, or is that an archive shot of the big white box in residence?

The only drawback with big sheds is that they tend to attract toys….. and then they are too full to easily work in…. 

The big white box (Motorhaus) is indeed in the dry with all the smaller motors in waiting. The only sad one missing is the old yellow Land Rover. Not been able to rescue it from next door's garden due to towing barge being lent out. Hope to rectify that soon

Hello Duncan, They say good things come to those that wait ! Regards, Michael.

We now have the towing barge back, but are now having to concentrate our efforts on two of our respective parents who have broken their legs (you couldn't write such a story & it remain believable!). A busy time awaits, which may slow garage activity for a bit

Oh….. bugger…..  who’s the other victim?

We’ve got new aged-parent problems too, though nothing as simple as a broken leg unfortunately…..

Hello, Sorry to hear that. Trust that it improves all round for everyone. Regards, Michael. 

[michaeljf]

So, are "we" racing for the slowest progress?? Sorry. Regards, Michael.

I just had one of those unhelpful little 'this day X years ago' photo notifications that informed me it's been 13 years since I got the Spitfire. Wasn't happy about that one...

[Nick Jones]

Heh…. Well, you do keep distracting yourself with other ambitious projects 

Should I create a forum section “Simon’s Mega-Projects”?

Hello Nick, I think very similar to Duncan's A30 power plant! Regards, Michael.

[Nick Jones]

Yeah….. I’m not going to comment on how long this A30 project has been going….. mainly because I can’t actually remember…… but l’m not sure my kids were even born when he started….

He’s done an awful lot of other stuff along the way though….

[michaeljf]

Hello, yes like a lot of us,..... other "things" keep getting in the road/move to the top of the priority list. That A series with the BMW head above is in a Midget. Regards, Michael. (thought it might inspire him to a bit more progress)

Now isn't that the truth!  now I've gone and bought a house that needs a garage building as well!

Taking all bets on who'll be finished first

I think I've already got a thread for that! In sore need of updating...
