Today we shifted all the bits and pieces of Big Car from the other garage to Shaun’s new house. This included the roof and walls, which we have reattached to Big Car, along with her back door. Here’s a picture…
Hangover permitting, I’m going to head to the garage tomorrow and take all the remaining junk in there to the tip. Looks like we’ll be able to give the keys to both garages back to the council on Tuesday – our saving will be £17.06 per week!
Shaun carried on working on Big Car’s electrics today and noticed that her glow plugs aren’t coming on – that explains the trouble we have getting her to start. Once this is fixed we’ll stop getting through so much Easy Start.
Take care all, Bob.

I’m Rob’s Mum.
first met Simon when he was a fresher. He and the gang from Glenaire came over on the bus for Sunday dinner. I was so delighted that he actually volunteered to play Pokemon with George! my outstanding memory of Simon is that he is the only person who tried to light a fire up the wood by rubbing two sticks together and almost succeded! He rubbed the sticks together for absolutly ages and we were so excited when he produced smoke!
Simon has left a wonderful legacy to you Rob and the Big Car buddies. Fixing BC in his memory not only will keep his specialness alive but will provide a purpose and distraction for you all when you are unwell stressed or demotivated. Every one needs dreams and a fabulous goal and going on a mamouth road trip for Simon will be so important in your lives.
