Well that's the old trusty MIG retired after 17 years of use in my hands (no idea how old it is though, I'm at least the 3rd owner) it's being replaced by a much younger and smaller second hand unit for now..

Well this is pretty amazing. Hope it goes to #1 in the UK.
Wild Falcons live to be about 13 years old.
So all the wild falcons alive today were born in the Millennium.......
Does that make them all
Millennium Falcons ........ 🤣🤣😁
Took the van to #mathewsonslive at the weekend. Massive show with a car auction on the side. Super expensive day out but worth it. Got some gremlins though, the V8 started pinking. Siezed advance mechanism in the Dizzy.
Local midweek car boot sale score. Tri-ang tricycle for the grandson. Just needs a light restoration.

New Garden lighthouse. 3 plant pots, some lolly sticks, paint and a solar powered flashing led light. The Mrs just finished it.
Absolute legend. Should have been knighted instead of Hamilton.
Happy 73rd birthday to Nigel Mansell one of the greatest British racing drivers of all time and a man who provided Formula One fans with some unforgettable moments.
Mansell competed in Formula One across 15 seasons, racing for Lotus, Williams, Ferrari and McLaren. He won 31 Grands Prix, but the achievement he had chased for so long finally arrived in 1992 when he became Formula One World Champion with Williams.
His 1992 season was quite something. Mansell won nine races on his way to the championship and became the first driver to win nine Grands Prix in a single season.
But rather than defend his Formula One title, Mansell headed to America in 1993 to race for Newman/Haas in the CART IndyCar World Series and promptly won that championship as well.
He became the first rookie to take pole position and win on his CART debut and ended the season as champion, making him the only driver to simultaneously hold the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship and the American open-wheel title.
Mansell later returned to Formula One with Williams and took his 31st and final Grand Prix victory in Australia in 1994. His final F1 appearances came with McLaren the following year.
The moustache, the red number five and some absolutely brilliant battles made Mansell one of the most recognisable figures of his era.
Happy 73rd birthday, Nigel Mansell. 🎂
