Modern Commer Replacement

[Steve Pyro]

I shalln't be trying that one again. I was blown across the lawn and I'm currently in the McEndoe ward of East Grinstaed Hospital, which has a world famous burns unit. Personally, I think the surgeon has done a bloody good job, least ways considering with what little bit of my face there was left to work with.

Did the explosion burn your hair off

Hi Andy, Have your wounds healed yet? How is the Commer coming along? Inquiring minds need to know.

It may not be a Commer but it'll do me.


meeeoowww

[Andy Zarse]

Felix, I have something similar planned...

Hi Phil, good to hear. The C is coming along ok, just about to fit new shox all round as all the oil has come out of the old ones and it makes the back brakes lock up when you stand on em. Target date is Monday 31th May, she's entered in a local Classic Car Show and it would be nice to have her all done by then.

See you soon

Where's the show Andy??  Could be a good time to get a few together for the unveiling??

[Andy Zarse]

Good idea JP. It's Bank Holiday weekend and Staplefield Funday is a really nice traditional village fete. It is dominated by the Classic Car show, but there's loads of other things for wives, kiddies to do too, stalls, garden crap, fun fair, donkey rides etc. So if anyone is required to bring along the family, then it's not likely to be a total disaster. You'll just need to arrange for the wife to drive you home later, they have an excellent Beer Tent.

The organisers are still looking for "interesting" vehicles to go into the show, so if anyone wants to enter let me know and I can make the arrangements. Its not a serious show, more of a chance to show off your vehicle.

Staplefield is dead easy to get to, being just off the A23, the main London to Brighton road, go past Gatwick and stay on the M/A23 until you see the turn off half way down Handcross hill.

That's brave of you Rick........she knows you only live down the road!!  

If you see a dark blue Galaxy parked at the end of your road one evening be afraid, be very afraid!!

OK chaps........serious for a moment.  Anyone who wants to attent this magnificent festival and partake of the ale, but does not have a chauffer............we could arrange a taxi share from Three Bridges station (yes the fabled place of the kebab eating Zarse).

Anyone interested let me know, and I will get organising.

Andy........Which day of the weekend is the show?

I think it's on the sunday but I'll get back to you on that one.

Three Bridges kebabs are pretty good but I dined al fresco at the Matter of Taste in the High St last night. Regret to say, a distinct lack of vomit on the pavement, but then again it was only a monday.

[gibberish]

My God Andy...........No vomit on Crawley High Street.  What is the world coming to.

Andy,

Please forgive me for doubting the magical Commer! but I have just picked up Junes 'Practical Classics' and there is a 65 Commer Caravette being broken, bloke is in Rotherham. Didn't know if it may be of interest to you

Thanks ABS. Don't suppose they mention if they've still got the rear leaf spring, which I could do with replacing. The ones on it now are bent the wrong way. Looks like we over did it on the sherry Sheila!

Andy,

There is a whole list of things there, I have got an image of the advert but can't get it under 250kb so can't post it up, send me a pm and I'll mail you a copy, or alternatively I can pm you the guys phone numbers.
