What does a grasser do when they're not grassin? Well here's what i've been doing...Instead of going to MAP on the first weekend in June, Rick and I went up to Glasgow to visit his Gran who is not very well. It was a lovely weekend with Rick's mum and Aunties and Uncles all back together in Glasgow for the first time in about 20 years. Many of the family are now living in Australia and Uncle Jim is in Germany. We hope to go over to Australia in the near future to stay with the family out there, it's a place i've always wanted to go and from the family photo's it looks every bit as amazing as i thought.
There was lots of paintwork to touch up on the car after the North of Englands so i did that ready for the Cwmdu BAS. There is now more hand-painted white paint on the wheel arches then there is original spray paint! If you look closely there's also lots of nice orange dribbles down the inside of the car where the paint has run through the holes in the bodywork!
We only usually run a shell for 1 season and then over winter dad will re-shell the car or at least re-panel it if he hasn't time to do a complete new shell. This winter however, dad was ill with cancer and so we have kept the same shell for a second season. It's looking a bit worse for wear now and, following a nudge in the door at Cwmdu, the doors panels and numbers are a bit of a state. I decided to pull the door numbers off last weekend and so after dad has straightened the door nicely i'll put some fresh stickers on for Scunthorpe BAS.
Last sunday we went to Dalby Forest, a local forest and visitor centre, with lots of friends from Church and had a great BBQ. Dalby Forest is a fantastic place for bike riding, adventure sports, chilling out, and even has the odd rally there. (pic above is the forest)
