Time flys

[miller1098]

There were a couple of lovely sunny but cold days last week so we decided to make the most of one of them,and we ended up at a place I guided a @mozz the Martian a couple of years ago .that time we found the road blocked,this time it was a beautiful drive

We took the route of the Mach loop and rather than walk up the side of the hill we watched at a convenient
Layby
I

The throttle position sensor packed in on the///m and getting at the screws is tricky because of a The engine lifting bracket,so I got to use some tools that get very little use but when they do come out they are worth every penny w

While going through some old pics I found some of my mates old American carsi I

Nice photo's Hugh

That's a very familiar site in Cornwall too with regards to forestry clearing. It's all part of the way the woodlands are managed these days, with three new saplings planted for every mature tree taken ........ at least that's what they tell us.

What the hell are you doing in Bahrain @Jack Ratt ?

Your friend has good taste in American cars, a couple of my personal favourites. Especially the 55 thunderbird. The cars of my youth and two eras I love the 50's and 60's when cars really were cars with personalities of their own and HP was huge!! JIM

We have a contract with BAE who in turn have a contract with MOD to build and maintain our Navy ships. My job is to ensure that the lifting equipment that was sent out from UK meets current statutory requirements. The Royal Navy has a number of ships in the US Naval Base here in Bahrain and we have to visit every 6 months. It's my first visit as the guy who did the last 3 visits jacked it in a couple of months ago and I was the only one daft enough to volunteer. I got here on Friday and I'm heading home next Friday if all goes to plan.
