Helllllooooooooo is there anybody still there? It's December, the last time I posted was way back in March. 9 months! Unbelievable...If I was to do a new update on news 'happenings' outside The Old Sidevalve Bar' then it would be the worst ever. Proper shiite show in the world. Oh!!! but hang on, hardly on a par with the main 'Wars' (unfortunately plural now) is an enquiry into the UK Governments handling of Covid...Eat Out to Help Out officially did a marvellous job of spreading the germ..A proper joke. Remember way back what ya uncle Alb said? Don't say I didn't warn ya all. Even Matts grabbing of Ginas arse in the broom cupboard got a mention.....F.F.S.
So, without further ado lets whizz back in time, catch up with any old photos taken of 'Lovely Maroon' and get a few posted.
Looks like after restoring the Genuine Lucas Barp Barper to a useable condition the attention turned to actually dropping the built part of 'Lovely Maroon' onto the floor. Suspended from the roof for quite a few years out of harms way had collected rather an impressive dust collection on it's colourful paintwork, worserer though there's now a dippy garage roof due to the weight. The dust will wipe off easy, the dip in the roof may over time relax back in a skyward direction or probably forever hold a puddle of water on top, shrug of shoulders and quietly thinking 'who knows?'. Gear Gnashing Neil helped lift the BSA goodness down onto a comfortable mat.
But poor Nornan...in order to facilitate this complex game of musical motorcycle chairs our Norm (a model D no less) was dragged kicking and screaming up tha' garden into the top shed. (Supervised by sound asleep small person in safety seat). Luckily not the chicken shed (which really is the bottom run of the restoration ladder) Nay, the freezer shed. Norm's now parked alongside the old Indisit complete with it's internal collection of forgotten sausages, left over soups and vegan burgers.
