Quietness

Post by txfsealord » Fri, 02 Apr 2010, 7:23 am

Hi all,

I hope all this peace & tranquillity means everyone's beaverin' away getting their 'vans ready for the summer season! Can we expect record turn-outs of freshly restored Portys & Annies this year?

Seriously, I hope lots of you will get out for rest &relaxation in them & have great times!

Cheers,

Steve Lord

Popped my Portafold up today, the hinges creaked a lot and I oiled them before closing last year. Despite being covered up, a little bit of mould inside. Easily fixed with a wash and a bit of paint when i get a minute. Off to Cheddar in a couple of weeks, towing the van with my van for a bit of Motorcycling.

Opened my Porti 'Matilda' up a couple of weeks ago and got a shock...all the interior work I had done was covered in damp mould, my fault for leaving one of those crystal de-hums in her and not emptying it...duuuuuuuuurrr. :clap:

When the wind drops below a gale I'll risk opening the little beast up (haven't finished replacing all the hinges, yet :roll: ), but the 4" of snow that was on it last week tends to put one off :thumbdown:

Hi, after many a long session with the fibreglass, paint & socket set, 'Poppy' the Portafold, is finally set for her inagural trip out into the big, bad world.
We are off to Sandringham for a weekend, we felt it only appropriate that she should be 'christened' in a Royal park setting!
I'll report back any disasters when we return!
So many repairs, so little time!
