7 years ago this August my life changed forever - I shall not expand on that sentence anymore than that! Best not to go there old chap. Something about darkness and female horses ? It's not all bad, the dwarf has suddenly taken a liking to classic heavy metal - we've been rocking a bit of Metallica and Megadeath today - girl after my own heart 🤘🎸

I had thought that the steering arm might not be original. It's yours whenever you would like to collect it, Horatio. Assuming we both live that long. If one or other of us dies in the meantime then I think you will understand that it might get more complicated. Should be ok. The steering arm is original, however it is of a later type and not as pretty. Here's what the first design looks like: This is an army issue model (hence the green paint) in un-restored condition. This IS the sort of thing that makes some get all excited (believe it or not).

I can definitely believe it. That is a very nice execution of an outboard motor steering arm pivot. Or whatever you outboard motor anoraks call them. Obviously I know everything about boats but when it comes to in depth detail of the old gulls and things I am but an apprentice. Always happy to learn

On the plus side - once all this has settled down I will have bugger all to do around the house - meaning every spare minute will be down the boat 👍🍻🤞

Always happy to learn I'll go through my picture library so that if fortune smiles upon you, you will have a better idea of what it is / worth.

I fancied an A4 Avant but put the smart money on one of its stable mates. Nice leather and the four rings couldn't get by the rock hard suspension and premium price tag, that's before you considered the lack of legroom and boot space... You're a couple of constants and a vowel out on the fleet 🙈 You are correct though; The Alfa and Skoda are desperate for a wash and polish - next weekend job - got to pace myself! 👍

It's not all bad, the dwarf has suddenly taken a liking to classic heavy metal - we've been rocking a bit of Metallica and Megadeath today - girl after my own heart 🤘🎸 Metallica is ok. I quite like "and nothing else matters". Quality. My girls know the rhinestone cowboy, total eclipse (Klaus Nomi) and that "hier kommt Alex" song @loddon put up a while ago. They do pick up on things. Actually on our daily exercise today the younger unit of the two was eyeing up my beer. Quite shocking really. I told her wait about 7 years and you can have a beer. Must say I do feel slightly embarrassed when they say "no beer for you today". Never mind I just ignore them and have more. Shit happens as they say.

Have you pinched Worzle Gummidge's hat again? Its the Raffia hat the woman bought in a shop in Lechlade 9 years ago. Seems to have got stuck on my head all the time recently.

Rhinestone cowboy is a quality tune 👍 In the past I too have had grief about no beer; particularly on a school night - every cloud and all that!
