Get well mate. Nature's way of telling you to take it easy, although Vanessa already does all the polishing

I think she must have missed a bit   

I heard he tried his IBW fancy dress outfit on and saw himself in a mirror.

After seeing Father Lee's thoughtful offer of bedside spiritual support for Allan I realised I knew someone who might be able to offer some more practical bedside help.



If Allan isn't out of that hospital by noon Monday then all bets are off.

A massive thank you to everyone from both Allan and I for all the messages and jokes we've been sent. You can always rely on our buggy family to make us laugh    I have to say, Hugh this is hilarious and has brightened up Allan's and my day, especially after discovering it actually is you dressed up        Do I see some sort of challenge between you and Lee for dressing up photos?  Actually no, I don't want to give Lee this challenge as it could go horribly wrong    Allan had a stent fitted today and is a bit groggy but not enough to have sent me to mot the orange buggy!! Joking aside, he is doing well and very thankful for all the kind messages. Thanks again 

Just noticed the pizza cutter in your pocket !!!!      

My look was a response to Lee's outrageous selfie but based/inspired by one of Dave C's many many fancy dress photos I saw at his 70th B'day. He'd put on some John Lennon glasses and a wig and I realised I had these items for IBW. But liking pizzas I added a personal touch as I think the cutter could be quite useful in a surgical procedure...

Yes Lee and Dave C are best left unchallenged in the dressing up department but a peek into Lee's wardrobe would probably reveal that his 'Father Lee' get up let us off very lightly.

Excellent that Allan's brief stay in hospital didn't disrupt him keeping all his buggys MOT'd.

We all look forward to him sitting in the passenger seats of his fleet waving imperiously. 

Friday morning.
As the southern/midlands Harwich ferry gets in half an hour or so before the northern Hull ferry, will any of you guys be hanging around at the first of Snoopy's suggested stops until we get there? (The BP on the A20) or are we meeting up as and when?

If anyone wants my mobile number as a 'northern contact' or is willing to let me have theirs as a 'southern contact', please send me a pm, or messenger message. Don't really want to post it on here. 

Just remembered to turn my 'roaming' on.

Hi Steve De Vink is as good a place as any to meet up then cruise up as a group, pretty sure you have my number already but will send a test text on the number I have for you.

Cannot promise that I will hear it, but my mobile number is +44(0)7801131144   

Help.

Took the buggy out for a pre IBW blast after a service to give it a final check and when I got back I found a drip! After a dry year the rear main has started to weep again.

Normally I would just fit the spare that I carry in the IBW spares kit but forgot to replace it when I changed it last year.

Ollie has none in stock and I can't get one until Thur lunch which is too late.

Has anyone got a rear main and O ring for a type 1 they can bring and let me have at Harwich? That way if it does go Exon Valdez in Holland I stand a chance of a local garage fixing it rather than being stuck waiting for parts.
