Agree Ian,

A great day out, get to see some old friends

And in my case, random strangers greeting me to say thank you or that they are following me on one of the 9 forums I contribute to.

One guy told he was sad to see me walk away from Rods n Sods after some guys looked for Sh!t with me, nice to hear.

And bargains only if you keep a keen eye and know what stuff is making, the pedal cost £4.00 in the end.

Mine has been with me for MANY years (since late 70s/early 80s). It continues its life in the 81 now.

Excellent posting Bill.

Thanks for sharing, made me chuckle here.




Quick n Dirty.

Tailgate cleaned up, scoured with ammonia based household cleaner.

Hosed down.

It will work.





Door lock pins removed, replaced with 8 Ball items.



Yup, I like that.



Stainless Steel tailpipe tip, offered up, it will work. £4.00 well spent.



Old painters paint and brush box I had for years, awaiting its role.....

Filled with a selection of the screwdrivers from Swapmeet for Sally, as she only had 4 cheap Wilkinson’s items.

What £5.00 bought.



Her share.



Of course you need stickers on there.




Yup, she likes it.

Also have given her the socket set to take home and put in her shed, in case I need to fix anything.
