Plates!

Got stopped by the Po-lice today for my number plates!!!


Asking what year was she registered I knew I was in trouble!


Apparently the DVLA and Po-lice are cracking down on numberplate irregularities and had great joy in explaining that I had to take my classic aluminium plates and chuck them for lovley crappy plastic shit!!!

I have checked the law and the font is correct so it just has to be black ally, with a reflective paint....mmmmmmmm......I must find a way of moding the classic ally plates to conform....??

Texas Splitscreen Massacre - Bus Stopover 2009

Another untidy peice of vw history that tickled us! you can be as rude as you like about it, the owner won't care, apparently he was eaten by bears in the woods after running from the po-lice!





TinCan Ceramix & Dusty Daz's delights...




Well done all those with stalls! hope you made your pitch money back!!



More fire buses



As a basic comparison to what we have near to Cambridge, this one is at Kieft en Klock in Holland for £9500, almost exact in spec other than a lovely 2,0ltr engine to buzz along in.

Overtons Coachworks

I saw Danny today, his business is doing a new service called "Hot zinc coating" where they actually spray a zinc powder through a flame to melt it then it sticks to the steel....the next best thing to zinc plating.....think of it as dipping your chassis, or boat into moulten liquid zinc!!!!
They are also now doing a stainless bead blasting service as well now....mmmmm? Any one interested????
