Oooo suits you sir!

Looking good! Are you doing the wheels too? Then the bolt on step on the
wheel black.. that would give goon zen ;-)

Certainly a good colour for Eastnor next year..... though I am expecting an
apperance at Malvern & the October Unofficial :)

back wheel on that side is done!. as was the tank until it got covered
in overspray!
The dents dont really look bad. the even colour has smoother them all
out a bit!

Hoping to get the last day of spraying finished this week then can
move along to something else :)

are you calling me a goon!? :p

Though I think 'goon zen' might sum up how one feels after a very long
(8am till 9pm) but satisfying day of spraying when you sit down at the
end of the day feeling totally knackered and sunburnt yet satisfied to
have got somewhere!

 
Well....Bagheera was *next* to the 101 stand :) Did you spot him?

Elvira went around the offroad course and I now have a very happy wife as
she wasn't happy owning an offroader that she hadn't used in anger :)

buggrit, looks like it was a good do. nemmind, there's always Malvern.

oi, Martyn, what about the Purple Land Rover Club?... hmmm, remove the Land
bit and it can be PRC which could be amusingly confused with the People's
Republic of China... or of course, write Landrover all in one word and it
can be PLC.

basically, I reckon all we need is a working definition of what's acceptably
purple, so something ranging from about as dark as Edward to a bit lighter
than Grumble... anything much lighter than Grumble gets a bit near to being
mauve.

I daresay we can have honorary purple membership for people who paint 'em in
unlikely colours, like Dave French and the 6x6, for example, and for anyone
else we like the look of.

I'll have to see if I can mix any paint to match Edward, the tailgate could
do with painting, and I spose I ought to touch up the front wing. Might
also change the screen and bumper and so forth from being black, although
I'm not sure what colour I'd do 'em instead. Silver, maybe.

Well.... apart from a most frustrating first couple of hours pitching the
caravan twice, no fault of any one here it was a super relaxed weekend of
chilling out. Stand was not overly busy but I was pleased to see a steady
number of what appeared to be seriously interested future 101 owners asking
all the right questions and making all the right noises when checking out
the various conversions.

I got a few toys, one of them steel sparky fire lighter wotsits for the fire
starter jnr. A green Camo net cos I couldn't find a sand one..... then 10
minutes later a sand one... kids will claim the green one for in the garden
for their climbing frame, closest we'll get to a tree such is the newness of
our house.

Er.... Models , books and a rad cap. Two bottles of Lemonade and a bottle of
Pimms, several ice creams so quite restrained really.

Company was priceless I have to say and the Grumbleplex was as usual most
entertaining.

Yer missed a good'un get yer ass'es to Malvern and the October Unofficial
;-)

Also muted was the concept of a Landrover Owners Camping club.

are you sure a fire starter is the correct piece of kit to give him.
He was trying to learn how to make traps as well.... A future Ray
Mears in the making ??????

He'll not be getting his mits on it for a few years yet, by which time I
guess I'll be so attached to it he'll want a new'un, It's awkward trying to
strike a balance between a healthy interest / hobby and breeding a potential
arsonist ;-)

He was last seen disapearing with my magnifying glass muttering something
about sun and sticks....Steve??? ;-)

He loves watching Ray Mears so is well into that kind of stuff. I've got to
get some of his series on DVD assuming it's on DVD as I love it myself.

I'm now looking at the shredder bin and wondering how big my tinder box
really needs to be to last a nuclear winter.... you know just in case and
all that ;-).

Seriously though, next item on the wish list is a Kelly Kettle now so I can
be a proper survivalist nutter seeing as Guns are all but banned.

Kelly kettle, water purification kit, some pre-made expedition food
packs (about £2 per meal), some army ration packs, some kind of
multi-fuel burner etc, lovely stuff!

Amazon has some good books on surviving in the wild, although I don't
think I'd recommend the one I just bought, "Food for Free" by Richard
Mabey, many of the pictures are decorative and hard or impossible to
identify plants from, and it's just plants, no "how to kill and cook
badgers" or whatever.

Ray Mears' books are apparently a bit of a mix, some stuff about how
to dig up some obscure root in the middle of the Kalahari, then on to
some food in Britain, then off to Alaska etc, I've not tried any of
those yet.

Any recommendations from anyone regarding good books on how to live
post-supermarket?

He did once turn up at a show, can't for the life of me remember which
one, thought it may have been Eastnor. Then met him at a 'do' a
couple of years ago and asked him if he remembered the purple 101? "Is
that the one with the big black dog?" was his reply. Didn't know
whether to be offended or not :) He's a member of another fraternity
I frequent, so may bump into him again in August. I can ask him to
sign a copy of one of his books if you like?

Forget the shredder, get some Maya sawdust (also sold in expensive
little tins as 'Maya Dust'). The best way to learn to use your
firestick IMO. Best way to start a fire - without petrol or lighter,
is to get a Brillo pad, pull it into a 12" long thread, then put each
end on the car battery. Kids really love learning that ;-)

They're made near Gaydon (have the address somewhere). Wouldn't be
without mine.

Here it is in Eire, complete with dog on string!

You'll probably laugh, but a good start is to look in your local
Scouting and Guides shop.
