getting there

well I weighed myself this morning and from 20 stone I am now down to 17stone 12Lb's :)

I can now see my toes!

on another note I have been asked to move a land rover for a mate from home to Manchester. because of this I am planning to do a road trip from Braemar to Manchester with the landy on a trailer, then up to Consett near Durham to pick up a hard top and roof for Hamish, from there its up to Jedbrugh to drop off the spare cylinder head I was given and pick up a set of lights (cheers Malc) from there its off up to Edinbrugh to pick up 2 engines one for Hamish and one to go off to Gambia as spares and finally Motherwell to pick up a free set of seats for stinker (the 110 pick up) and an engine crane,
thankfully the fuel for this trip is being paid for by the chap who is buying the landy of my mate!!

PHEW!!!!!!

its home

I picked up the 109" today
he will need a little work, at the moment he has a 2.25 petrol fitted that will be hauled out and a diesel put in its place.

the chassis has a couple of holes that will need attention and the front spring hangers/dumb irons will need replacing

on another subject I weighed myself at work on Friday and I am making inroads into the belly!

I am feeling better for it as well!

UPDATE: we have decided on a name for him its HAMISH the land rover
