Pies!

Thursday saw the Lincs TSSC group combining their favourite non-triumph things, Pie and Beer. Leicester & Rutland and Northants joined us to visit The Olde Pie Shoppe in Melton for a pie making session followed by a trip to the local ale house.


The results can be seen above. The slightly wobbly one on the left was made by Sarah, my better half, and the masterpeice on the right was "raised" by my own fair hands!

Huge thanks to Garth for organising the event, and to all those that came along to support us - I think we had over 30 people join us on the quest for the perfect pork pie.

Whilst in the pub, and on a pie high, I seem to have mentioned that I would have my car completed in time for the TSSC lincs camping weekend in September. Having spent the weekend shifting bits of the car into the new garage - I think it might have been slightly optimistic....

On the road again...

...unfortunately on the back of a trailer.

Having made the decision to move to a cheaper house to rent, it was time to get the car back into the daylight. The impending move and freezing temperatures had stopped all progress.

In preparation, it was moved outside and made "weatherproof" as I wasn't sure whether the transport people could do it Friday or Saturday.


Luckily John Fotheringham (01522 684004) were able to do the job straight away, so it was soon loaded and on the road. The chap driving the lorry was an absolute star and went out of his way to take care - and they were cheap (and I mean seriosuly cheap).


So, after the move, Blu was finally in his new - double sized home. I can't believe the missus swapped a huge kitchen and small garage, for a huge garage and tiny kitchen!!!




So once the house move is complete, and I've got some heating on the go, the car can finally be painted and rebuilt. Just watch this space...
