Well I couldn't get back to doing landy past two days as had to do my Saab brakes pads and after putting it off till I got the right socket for them I managed using a scaffy pole for extra leverage mange to undo the blighters and used it again to tighten them all up .  Drove carefully into Edinburgh till they bed in and can say how nice it was to slow down without a squeal and everyone looking at me lol

Not much today, just collected the bin from the road-end and went to see a bunch of kids camping in the bottom field. I'll not mention whose new Disco got stuck on the entrance track, it would not be fair to Jamie.

If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....

Fitted new microswitch to Freelander tailgate on Wednesday, then horsed down to Portavadie yesterday to see the Fife yachts' race start in strong winds.  Magnificent!

Took the soft top off for a drive to work. I now wonder when the sun is going to come out.

P.s. Nigel, Fife Regatta was Awesome. I was out on Mignon from Tignabruich to Largs on Thursday. Max gust 30kts. A well earned pint.
Karis 110 - The perfect way to get a MTB to the top of the hill.
Power to the pedal!

Well done, John.  All the hard work (fun) paid off.
Wow, Ruari.  Really envious, that must have been terrific. There were some heavy gusts - guess we're going off topic!
Never mind, started cutting hedge this morning and loaded S3 for run to coup - sides all rolled up.

Ty but off topic or on doesn't matter really as it invokes what ypu are doing via a landy like myself today loaded up Saab with tools and a-frame and light board to travel to Surrey to collect a S2 landy my finacee won for me  which is going to keep me very busy by the looks of it , I hope it turns out as good as my S3 which still has cosmetic work to be done and every day run of the mill maintance to be done, anyways whatever your doing this weekend I hope it's fun fun fun in the sun
Cheers

Well just look forward to a few days of this when you get it fixed - down the lochside to close a gate this evening:

Near Callander John. Come on a few GRR and we'll get you right into the middle of miles of that sort of scenery.
