        That's seven years bad luck for me then...
 
Just drove the buggy out of the garage to turn it round (started first turn!) to do the front electrics on Sunday, banged a bit with the Lockright (Lunchbox cheaper make) in the rear... I realised on Wednesday that I'd inadvertently cut the mirror remote wires off the loom in the drivers door, so I went to manually move the mirror whilst reversing in and .., CRACK!
Good job I've got a spare...

        I was waiting for our Londis delivery truck this morning, so I was playing at making videos again... :lol:
A little video to try and show how the rear mounted winch works...
And work out the basics of video editing and sub-titling...!

        Shame about the mirror, but at least the winch works an absolute treat. Very clever and very well executed

        No work on the buggy yesterday...
I needed a lie-in, and didn;t wake up until10:45! So a cooked breakfast and a nice long walk with the Labradors in the snow
And then I was working on the wife's car... she's got a Mokka 4x4 and went to use it Saturday to go shopping, and started the wipers to clear the windscreen not thinking they were frozen to the windscreen and covered in snow, so it ripped the blade off the driver;s side and both wier arms jumped on the splines and went out of alignment., so defrost the car, disassemble, off to Halfords for a new blade, and then realign everything so that the wipers didn't smash into each other and swipe straight off the windscreen too...
I then did some ZookBOB tidying up and some orders, and then jumped in a 40 degree hot-tub with a 4 degree Stella or two... :woohoo:
Back to the buggy on Wednesday...
