VBobber Super Lube System

Whilst the Queen decides the outcome of the request to return Albert's £5 the work continues on the VBobber Super Lube System. This newly designed irrigational highway for lubrificational juices has been under secret testing at Brooklands for over a week ! .
Bartholomew Shewmuckler a stalwart of 'The Old Sidevalve Bar Flagon Tippers' has successfully achieved a 'Ton-up' Lap of the Clubhouse Circuit using the earlier prototype 'Squirt Cam Splasher Dipper' oiling pump. This has been received as good news back at Blighty Base Camp.. Hip Hip Hurrah ! Well done old chap !

 Below - Bart and the Big Piper J.A.P. (currently fitted with the S.C.S.D. oiler)


The second pipe has been laid in place on the VBobber and now bracketry is being constructed to hold firm the copperwork.

The necessary race specification speedholes are evident in the top mount.

The lower mount is still under construction. Speedholes to follow...
Stay tuned for more lube news....
It's Ale-o'clock, time for a beer....Alb over and out.

Their defences appear to be weakening !

Today I have received a brown envelope
Inside a Goverment notice
Clearly marked from -
The National Duty Repayment Centre. 
Excise, Customs, Stamps & Money.

Below is the very document.......



Clearly the amount I am claiming back is above the remit of 'V.A.T Dover'  and needs higher authority
My manifesto has been forwarded to LONDON ! Capital of Blighty !
Maybe for royal approval by Her Gracious Highness & Majestyness herself -





Let's raise a flagon to the Queen in anticipation-
'Bottoms up Milady' 

I await developments

Vintafaking or just Bullsh** ?

Waiting for the Big Cheese at the 'V.A.T. Bunker' in Dover to respond to my manifesto has started to create tension.. ........
I guess that's the job of a government department.......
try pi*s everyone off at all times......doesn't matter one bit if they pay their taxes.......and some..........(I'm cool though, it's a waiting game.....trying to wear me out......a war of attrition)

Even the cobwebs in The Old Sidevalve Bar' are wound up as tight as catapults........should a silk strand ping then a big hairy Yorkshireshireshire spider could be launched into orbit .......I know, not a place to be with such danger. But, Albert has to vintafake, life carries on.......

A quick rummage in my secret stock found just the thing.  
8mm central heating pipe and an assortment of compression fittings......

Look like real old J.A.P. oil lines to me.....?
No ? Well they will do soon....

Step one - Drill holes in appropriate places...and mount brass unions to 'VBobber Super Lube System'
Step two - With the skill of a Master Craftsman pass the copper pipe between the obstacles, frequently annealing to maintain some flexibility...and shaping artistically with finger and thumb.....
Step three - Solder pipe to brass connections.

Not finished yet, but I thought you'd like to see progress.....So, now you know.
Fill my flagon with dark ale wench...
let's celebrate, for no spider has been launched today.....

Weasel War Update

Just a quicky tonight -
Forgot to tell you all peeps.....I posted the manifesto again.........This time to V.A.T Dover H.Q.
Blimey......here's the spooky thing......That's where Churchill had his war bunker, and that's where my Churchill salute is pointing.......Da....Da......Ddaaaaaaaaa !
Ok so my 'V' for V.A.T. Victory is looking a little bit weathered but the fingers are still erect (despite the cobwebs)
May good triumph over the greedy............
May my manifesto bring prosperity to the needy...
May the flagons of 'The Old Sidevalve Bar' never run dry.....
Forever Picklington ! I hear ye cry !

Phuffffff !

Brown envelope opened.......!
W.T.F. ?
Polite letter from a govermental Weasel !
Hey, lets keep the details thin and to the point...............
(looks like a womens writing...)


More research needed Albert old chap..............don't imagine for one moment that the address of the correct Weasel H.Q. could possibly be disclosed........

I shall purchase another stamp of the realm and attack again......
in the meantime - a flagon of lubricating apple juice will help to calm me dowm......
