Weon

This weekend I have been enjoying the benefits of a nasty stomach bug. Yep, vomiting and diarrhoea have been the order of the day since Saturday night. No biking, no eating, no Brat driving.
Ooop, must dash…

I managed to get some build time on the Brat last night. All the electronics are in (battery is on charge) and the wheels went on so now it looks more like a car.
This weekend I shall mostly be painting one of the bodies for the car. It came with a polycarb body for racing […]

Man, what a morning. So far I have taken a 50 minute bus ride to Gloucester, walked 25 minutes to the garage to pick up my Fiat Coupé after it’s MOT, paid the £225 for the necessary work, started to drive it back, heard a knocking sound coming from the engine bay, done a U-turn, […]

The Brat now has a motor and gear housing (although it is missing a screw that wasn’t in the kit but is being posted to me), drive train and rear suspension assembly.

The rear suspension needed much fettling as one of the parts, made of pressed aluminium, was slightly squiffy so much filing and oiling and […]

OK, having taken all the bits out of the box, including the marillion screws in various little bags, I think this may take me a little longer to build than I first thought.

Kev immediately went into the zone and turned it into a race to see who could build it first. I am happy to […]

Proof, if any were needed, that Jamie Redknapp should not be allowed to be a pundit on Sky Sports:
I think Peter Schmeichel will be a father-figure for Kasper.

Look what arrived at Marble Cake Towers today for me and the Kevston:

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am at the prospect of building and racing this bad bad boy. Expect photos and updates as the days go by - they are our lunchtime and after school projects!

Yesterday I spent 5 hours cleaning the car. I know that makes me sound like a right saddo but it hasn’t been cleaned in six months so it needed a lot of attention. I even hoovered out the interior which still had pine needles from our Christmas tree. Yep - I really do take pride […]
