the engine is a modern Zetec / ST 170 that was knocking out 227 hp on carbs so blocks are easy enough to source , just all the machining work and parts that went into it make it an expensive day out , I hold 2 class records at the VHRA Pendine sands races with it and was hoping to up them this year before I change classes and maybe put a v8 in it

I was just thinking that. My favourite kind of buildings - we had a similar art deco cinema in Chorley that got knocked down for no good reason. Councillors responsible for that decision deserve a good slap.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

The building is a old garage that is steeped in local history and is now grade 11 listed , we used to drive past it and look at all the steam engines parked up and around it , all the contents were sold odd by sealed bid and the building has been saved

My late uncle lived in Achiltibuie, had a prawn and lobster boat.Yes we went up it, a long time ago. About 1983. Me, wife no.1 and my mate went to the top, his missus gave up halfway. Wasn't difficult, but then I was only 25.
Going north from Ullapool, after about ten miles turn off to go to Achililtibuie/Polbain/Reiff. That's the road you can see in the picture, and Stac Pollaidh is on your right, the loch to your left. Probably about 10 miles before Reiff, where my (now deceased) mate's parents still live. We're planning to pay them a visit this year.
There are some more challenging mountains round there, Like Ben Mor Coigach.
Love it up there, good sea fishing too
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

There was a guy, think his name was McCloud or something, it may not be spelt that way. He ran a boat out of Baden Tarbet (near the Am Fuaran pub, and about three miles from Achiltibuie). Fishing trips and cruises (Summer Isles cruises).
My mate who lived at Reiff (Lance Wilding) used to fish lobsters and prawns in that area too, but he was English, from Preston originally. I have fond memories of going out working with him even though I was meant to be on holiday, and getting jellyfish stings on my hands because we were too stupid to wear gloves
Just came to me this morning, his name was Ian, and he was known locally as Ian Roll. He passed a few years ago. May not be your uncle, but this bloke was well known round there, so if you still have relatives in Achiltibuie, they'll know of him.

Got this to run my charge cable over slabs at side of house so no one trips, like bin men etc.
It's about a metre long and is very heavy. Not for cars to use, just pedestrians etc.

Grant

Car has been going well and I'm getting used to the regen braking, and now using level 3. It comes close to stopping car by itself if you want it to.
Plugged in today and now charging. Was it at 70% still but thought I'd top it up.
Pic shows cable coming through the channelling I bought
