UPDATE ON MY LAND YACHT

After many many weeks and a LOT of money (more than enough to buy another bike)  the Cadillac passed it`s Manx test today  which means will fly through any UK MOT thrown at it!!!

I do have it for sale if anyone knows any classic American car enthusiasts who may be interested?? It`s been going on so long, I`m quickly losing interest in it  Will take a part ex if it helps?

So, all I need to do now is get it registered and use it .... on the 25th of each month 

Cheers

She`s up and registered / taxed from the 1st of Sept. Had a run round in it on Saturday and on Sunday took it out the Manx Motor Museum, to have a skeet at the Auto Jumble. It was a very wet day and as I was pulling up at the Museum, (glad I wasn`t driving quick) a mighty bang came out from under the bonnet and then smoke  I lifted the bonnet and Holy $hi7, oil everywhere!!  As I mentioned, it was a very wet day so you can imagine the mess I made outside the Museum ... I was ashamed  A high pressure power steering / brake hose decided to burst which gave me NO STEERING or BRAKES 

After a phone call to a couple of mates and help from the Museum owner (who was extremely understanding) a botch was made to get me home. A new hose is now on it`s way 

PS. The jumble was cancelled due to the weather!!

It`s gone!!!! I owned an F250 Pick-up about 9yrs ago which was really useful so I`ve swapped it back for that. (pictured)

Aye Steve, you'll fit a fair bit of scrap copper in the back that!😉 My regards to young James as well, please.
My regards, Bill

Cheers Bill. To be honest, I`ve not seen James in years, it`s such a big island I live on!! If I catch up with him, I`ll certainly pass on you regards. Best wishes, Steve.
