Is this the BBC catching up with the recent resurgence of interest in microcars? I do like the general tone of the article, though. Perhaps remembering a kinder, more caring age?

Nothing is going to upset my day, just had a great band practice and introduced two new nunbers to the set. Also looking forward to the trip down to Jeans tomorrow.
I did actually read the BBC piece and did wonder about the implications of the government declaring IC's as unsafe and the knock on effect that could have had on microcars! I guess like me the government must categorize them differently to microcar, Anyway, lets not go there again.
You may be pleased to know that I am basing the loom I'm making for the top secret Bobette project on the wiring diagram found in the AC Acedes handbook that was kindly given me by Rob Dobie. ;)

"the AC Acedes handbook that was kindly given me by Rob Dobie."
Pardon ??? Crumbs Bob, when was it that I was so generous? :-\
-
Oooo, it was a long way back Rob, you must have had a funny turn that week as you even paid for the postage!. ;D Why, do you want it back?

Does this mean that like the long delayed lifting of the cloak of secrecy surrounding the Stealth bomber prior to its pivotal role in winning the 1991 war with Iraq- that speaking publicly of your Bobette project is no longer punishable by death?

Nurse, "Get Mr Dobie some smelling salts before he keels over and wants a wheelchair!"
Now I know roughly when my giving stuff away started. At least it's great now being able to crawl around my rooms etc. now instead of using a ladder! ;D

-
Sort of 'A.C. Av U let a Bruetsch Bobette out of the shed'? after Ronnie Barker.

You used to count-in all your songs " 1, 2 " but now you can count them in " 1, 2, 3, 4 " !

The BBC called me a couple of times for help with this article and we both tried to contact Stuart as he is the man when it comes to Invalid Carriages / Tricycles though unfortunately we couldnt get hold of him. :(
