My GF has to work xmas day & boxing day so I usually go ride the horse xmas morning but obviously, hooning around on the horse is not possible at the moment. So I thought I might as well do some work in the lab. Some of the experiments I carry out here take an hour or two to process... so I might as well surf to pass the time whilst I'm waiting.

The cold weather has also interrupted the work I was planning for the project car as there is no heating in the garage and has been as low as -15 C here for the past few nights. So very disappointing at the moment.

Wow are you a Scientist then - i dont know why but im imagining Emit Mcbrown - ha.

Shame Christmas hasnt quite been what it could.
Is it worth putting a portable heater in the garage - i havent this year, but last i had an oil filled free standing radiator plugged in and it kept the chill off.

Good luck with the project

The GF says it's like living with Christopher Lloyd (Back to the future)..... only without the DeLorean! Anyways.... I don't eat anything that never stood on four legs so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Also.... I get to play my 70's classic rock/metal music at mega volume whilst I'm working cos there's no one else here so.... I kind of enjoy it. I think it's time that Xmas was reinvented cos everything else has.... and TBH it's getting a little samey for my likin'.

Another xmas thread of interest for those of you have had enough of eating birds. This one is Rootes and only has a little Rapier action but well worth a look if you are into late Rootes early Chrysler times. Here's the link...... http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=94347

Enjoy!!

No.... you cannot lift that one off of Flickr as it is protected but you could take the one that he published on the RR forum thread. Crazy really as he did not ask your permission to photograph the subject. Probably be easier to take one from the same or similar angle yourself.
