    Was down the tip some years ago and someone pulled this beauty out the back of a motor 1976 puch 3 stermy archer gears like new still had the original ever ready lights on, so I put it straight in my van, have loads of bikes including a full suspension specialised ,hard tail orange gringo a Ferrari folder and a few more the puch is the best ride of them all and when you get that third gear going I’m overtaking cars and my legs are barely going round proper engineered

    I think bye elections will be the way to success and hopefully there will be lots more over the next five years if they can sort the infighting out they could have a reasonable number of seats by the general election as I’ve said an interesting few years ahead in politics

    Not had much to do with wooden boats but plastics tend to sit a lot shallower in the water my last one was 35 ft long but only needed 18” of water under it which makes them quite hard work in the wind

    The two pack is a more recent thing but can’t be put on over the bitumen ( tar) so as my boat is old it was bitumen from new, unless I shot blast it back to bare metal, I prefer the bitumen because two pack lasts longer the boat only comes out every 8/10 years with the tar it’s every 3/4 years so you get to check the underside for damage to the metal also the prop and rudder bearings can be checked and repaired if needed , most are metal but fibre glass and wood are also used my first boat was fibreglass but they tend to be smaller and more often weekend boats rather than live aboar

    The boat was done just before I bought it 4 years back in a boatyard at a cost of £2500 but I would rather do it myself as the last job is a bit shit plus I’ve worked in there and there tight as on the amount of tar they put on. at stourport you just book the dry dock cost me £700 because I take up two spaces normally 350 per boat for the dock and pressure washing then I have a week to paint it possibly another £100 in materials but should get around 4 coats on so all in all a better job twice as much tar and less than half the money

    Appreciate that mate but a lot just can’t be arsed with it and if he hadn’t turned on you for telling the truth someone else might have come forward but reading all his shit change there minds anyways hopefully some normal conversation can resume

    Well it’s time to have the old boat out for blacking and an age related survey on the hull so have just booked the dry dock at stourport as it’s the nearest one that will allow you to do the work yourself, stourports an interesting place anyway so will be two days travelling up the Severn then 7 days in dock to get her all cleaned back and three coats of fresh tar

    To answer a few of your points, there have been several threads on big cats everyone ruined and taken down either by Greb or his predecessor , I personally have never started one but I will try and answer if the question arises, as it’s something I,m involved in,and understand I can’t give you all the answers you want as I’m a tiny cog in a much bigger machine things I find I pass on further up the chain, anyone with an interest can come and meet me and I will happily take them out for a wander or to the university when we have our annual gatherings and you can meet students and lecturers that

    Nice van but a bit to new for me lol I like older, the sprinter has no turbo and no timing belt they call it the million mile engine just stopping the rust killing it first is the issue, if your daughter gets the bug she will be going for something bigger in a year usually a crafter if she’s into vws

    Old and wise mate golly could learn a lot from you and your ilk if he wasn’t so ignorant and obsessed with getting the last word in by dragging every thread down till everyone leaves you probably see and do more in a week than he achieves in a year on his phone
