XTreme

No......I just blasted away with the can! The thing is I thought it was pretty knackered anyway (piece of lid broken off too) so it was no great loss if it all went belly up.

Brilliant Chris.....I'd love to ride through France one day.....it looks fantastic! I really liked the South of France when I drove through it coming here.....it was a much more pleasant climate than the north.

I'm quite happy they don't come here......but I don't think they will be!

Spain has said that they'll allow Brits in from the end of the month. But Bozo has now told them that if they go abroad they'll be fined £5000.

Leaving the next coat till tomorrow now......and it warms up again. But so far it's looking better than I expected.

@boboneleg is your man!

Only in Spain Pedro! Their capacity for incomprehensible thinking knows no limits!

The wife said it looked like shit so gave me something to rub it down with......a sanding block apparently. So I rubbed it down and it looked like this! Then it was another coat of paint..... So definitely looking better. I'm going to leave it now till we come back from the horses, then another rub down in a few spots and another coat of paint.

This top box, thought it works fine, is pretty battered due to bad parking in Granada city centre. Scraped all over the place and even a chunk missing out of the lid itself......though you've got to look hard to see it. So I thought I'd see if I could make it look a little less shit before I pulled the trigger on a new one. Here it is in it's normal state........ So I masked around it and stuck it on top of the bird bath in the garden. The I gave it it's first coat of black......sort of bubbling a bit at the moment so I've left it to bake dry in the sun before applying a second coat. I'll update you when I've done the second coat! It may look less shit......or maybe again it may look more shit! My money's on more shit I have to say.

Your eyes are bigger than your belly!

Well it seems that numbers appear to be rising again here and they're predicting a fourth wave! Spain records 633 Covid-19 deaths since Thursday as experts warn of fourth wave

Well.....I have met one or two English who were OK Dave!

What did they say?

Yeh.....that's them!

They supplied a little Allen Key.....so I was OK with that cos both ends are the same!

From what I can remember he invited himself. I think it was being talked about on MB so he basically said "I'll be there"......I remember thinking at the time that somebody might end up twatting him.

I'll only find out whether it goes floppy when I can have good ride though.

You're really keen to get on a boat with Bruce aren't you Rich?

He was a client.....and a friend too. His business deals were nothing to do with me!

You may not be surprised to know that it was Magnum who flogged her the cave! In fact he flogged it to the previous owner as well when it collapsed and was featured on Holiday Homes from Hell.

@Slowlycatchymonkey ......would you believe it? It's done! I had to get the wife to hold the bottom clamp while I got the threads started.....but apart from that it was me!

Oh yes!

I've probably got about 10K kms left in the current ones Ray......so with the way things are now it could be a few years before they need changing.

It has history......it was on one of those "Holiday Homes from Hell" programmes around 2005 because it was collapsing. The woman bought it (knowing it's history) around 2007.....lived in it for 2 years.....and it's been standing since then.
