Aldermog is more mix of dark blue and chalk mud grey... I'm going to see just how dirty I can get her before I give in... Before I wash her I'll photograph her just to show how bad it can be... Sort of reverse concours...  BTW: bright sunshine now...  Here's your starter for 10..... [img]http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/...~original[/img]

Yes Dave, the first replacement cable cost me £300ish at Dealers with seats out etc and I got a bit chocker with it and decided to chock myself saving a couple of bob. You get a lot of chocks for £300

Yes scarey old price, the Handbrake is purely of cosmetic value on a daily basis and I save it for the MOT now. Total bill for MOT, headlight adjust and handbrake cable fitting was £464 which I was a little surprised at  I attempted to get under the car with view to replacing it myself, even with the car on 4 car ramps I couldn't do anything underneath the car it was too tight. I was 105Kgs then and have lost 15Kgs since so not too bad now

Great trip around the South Hams in the sunshine today, a bit shocking to see yet more sand dunes surrounding Slapton Line The highways stated that they would not reinstate the road if it gets washed out again, so I guess we probably have maybe another 5 years of use left playing the averages. This would see Torcross effectively die. Bar stewards that is a wonderfull drive. Soon with the GWR crippled and that road out Devon tourism is being crippled.

If you will excuse the choice of words eye op looking good  Garage in the end decided easier to get a honda genset ...... Even though I am a one fourteenth shareholder of the management company they were not prepared for me to run, with full reinstatement, armoured cable from house (barn conversion) to garage. Honda gensets are very quiet...... Pete

Yes it's a real mare John whether they go back on that decision we can but hope, for purely selfish reasons it's a great round trip for me Stoke Fleming - Torcross - Kingsbridge inland route to Stoke Fleming keeps the Morgan and my battery charged. Friends of ours run the Post Office/Stores in Strete and Torcross and closure of the road would certainly pull the plug on them. Thought about you tother day as I passed (often do)the Cider bar in Newton down East Street, incidently my wifes grandfather hailed from 17 East street where he practised as Journeyman Shoemaker before seeking fame and fortune in London Village - well ok a wife at least. ps They lost the Boathouse Café at Torcross last week with a fire would you believe. My elder daughter went to school with the two sisters that own it, the week before they lost windows etc due to the sea/gravel movement heartbreaking for them.

Also lose a chunk of history if that road goes. Maybe the USA could help it is a part of their history as well. Thar road from Kingsbridge go Dartmouth is magical
, I have enjoyed it from childhood visits to living down here. It will impact all the communities on the road.

That's a tough one to understand with the power cable surely as shareholders they would be gaining an asset for free - or maybe I'm missing something I often do  I'm sure the other 13 will soon get to hum along in sync with the set at their barbecues
