Hello (again)
« on: August 27, 2020, 05:22:57 PM »
Another abandie from vod...
Been on here before, forgot login details so just stayed on VOD. That's dying a slow painful death for a while now so I've reregistered on here again.
Still making bio, still got the only 4x4 worth owning, a Landrover of course,  :o
Running [if I get enough veg] Defender 200TDI and Winnebago Lesharo (now gone)Range Rover P38 ,and a space heater on home made bio.

Alright Nige :)
Yeah, all good here, Moy is still happy with me hahaha.
Emma is now in the Royal Navy, training at Whittington barracks Litchfield, RichardP is familiar with that place as was I.
We both used to collect their wvo, finished there now though. Micky is at college for another year maybe 2, depends how it goes.
Still brewing but alot less now I don't have to do the school run and Litchfield. Lost another 2 collections that were a bit of a trek too but gained another 2 that are local so less miles collecting as well. Built the new workshop and tons of other stuff that's kept me real busy.
That kitcar finished yet?

Great to hear your news.
Kit car has not been worked on for a couple of years now. It's stored at my mother in laws. I moved house 18 months ago and the last 6 of them weve moved out to have major renovaton and extension works. We should be back in during the next 5 weeks. My new garage will eventually house the Beauford to completion.

I'll never stop until the government outlaw it, 22 mpg would bankrupt me on Dino!
My elder brother is moving down your way from Tunbridge Wells now he's retired, forgot where exactly.
I've only been making around 4 batches a year of 180ltrs but I expect that to increase next year when I've finished the house refurb and other stuff and can get out and about in the camper again.

Hi Chris, nice to see you here again. I spent 3 weeks at Whittington Barracks a while after I broke my leg in Gibraltar. Wasn't much going on there then.

It does seem very quiet compared to when I collected the oil. There was alot of building construction going on then though?
Carpark is pretty full though so there in there somewhere. Daughter is at home on summer leave for 2 weeks, goes back this Sunday.
Covid is messing up her training and properly messed up the pass out down Raleigh plus it was closed to the public too so no-one could watch it including family, uniforms weren't available either as the tailors all got covid!
Watched it via live stream on me sofa which was ok. On the plus side we saved a fortune on hotel and minibus hire!
