Hi all, Just returned from a long day at the NEC... Even more walking than usual due to bigger halls but an excellent day all the same. Debating going to the garage to play with a couple of new air tools but it'll be blo*dy cold in there, may just stay in front of the fire. Have to say, Guy Martin was brilliant...could have listened to him all day long. mad as a box of frog's tho isn't he  Chris Barrie was Good too, i liked that for once Edd got to do the Interview  Quentin Wilson was quite good too,he was only there on Friday tho imho this show will have to take over the whole NEC, within the next couple of year's,glad we where there on Friday when you could actually walk around n take Pictures,was that bad on Saturday it took me 25 minutes to fight (quite Literally),my way from the Wheeler Dealer Stand to the Sound Box,taking Crowd Picture's for Mike's wife so she can put them on the Facebook page  , That was during The Guy Martin bit  |

Not that busy for me either Welshy this week 2 small jobs today.. Had a look at a Seat Arosa with a broken window winder and drivers door barrel spinning.. Swapped winder over from passenger side...Needs a repair kit for the lock..Nearest Seat dealer is nearly 30miles away from me..I suggested ebay, oh no, had to be dealer only  for a 13year old car. Second job was a 12 year old Vectra with a stuck solid ignition barrel..Managed to clean it out and free it up..Advised she gets a new key cos both are worn.  |

No work booked in and phone is dead as a dodo, so I spent a couple of hours cleaning the house.
And 2 school runs!
Picked up new caliper for a Ford Ranger that I'm fitting in the morning.
Went and had a natter and a cuppa with one of my customers that's shortly moving to Wales.
