Always loved that sound! In Dominica, with corrugated sheeting roofs and only hardboard ceilings, the drumming in the rainy season would put me to sleep in minutes!

Today I mainly fitted a new injector wiring loom and checked the gearbox oil.

Realised why I try to avoid "tidying up" whenever possible.

Last weekend, I removed a whole load of stuff from the Riva - including probably £150 or so worth of automotive cleaning products if you put them together (several years worth of accumulated stuff!), bundled them into a couple of bags.

...And now can't for the life of me find the bags! I don't *think* I stuck them in the boot of the Peugeot last weekend hence would have left them in Aberdeen...but can't find them here anywhere!

Hrrmph...Should have just left them all lined up in the boot of the Riva!

...am amazed how an idea can become reality. A company that produces commercial videos posted a question at our forum about three white Nivas for a weekend movie job in Stockholm. None of the dealers had shown any interest, but three members came to the rescue (the plan B was VW Golf!). All expenses were covered for them, all they had to do was to drive their Nivas to Stockholm.

This morning the first scenes were done:

I'll get back with more info.. and of course the final result.

Sat I mostly chased a local rally with a paramedic in the truck.

Sun I mostly fixed tools at work so I could catch up on overdue work!

Ground my Bronco's starter drive pinion against the ring gear...

More and more unplanned spending going into it.

Picked up a knackered boat trailer and removed the good parts. hubs, suspension, wheels and hand winch. The rest of the trailer was held together with rust.

Went to a local food produce show and missed out on buying some Buffalo meat

Took the inlaws out for a meal and managed to get a free Talisker rocking glass. Normally you need to buy 4 shots before you get a free glass.
