Showtime finally!

[Boomlander]

Hi all,
Having recently retired from the employment treadmill I have finally got Willum Morris in a fit state to attend a local show day at Brightlingsea on Sunday.
I'm sure he will raise a few eyebrows when the purists see all his "additions" but most people smile and take photos, at least they did with my old splitty Jethro and he was loaded with goodies from yesteryear!
Have a good weekend folks.

Enjoy retirement and your moggy both highly recommended
Suff the purist, it's your car so do it your way.

Much obliged my friend,
Happy Motoring!

Retiring was the best decision we ever made. Enjoy.

Can we see a picture of your Moggy please?

Hi,
I'm having difficulty adjusting to retirement after being a shift worker on the railway but I think I'll be fine!
I will have a rummage through the files and see if I can find a picture of Willum in his finished state!
Found this one taken recently before his registration number was changed.

It looks lovely. I'm not sure I have ever seen a Butlins Card Club badge before.

Our Clacton Butlins holiday park closed many years ago and it took me ages to find a car club badge in good condition.
I was lucky enough to find this original mint condition one on good old Ebay, expensive but worth it!

Nice badge and you’ve almost aligned the screw heads !! A practice not seen much these days, dressing the screws !

[POMMReg]

Now you're retired, you can use it to deliver takeaways with deliveroo!!

It's hard to get all the hubcap M to synchronise when you park though

Retirement was the best thing ever

You have the eyes of a hawk my Lord!
I never bother to align screw slots, I'm only too pleased when I can get them to fit!
I usually have to resort to holding the damn things with needle nose pliers because of my numb finger tips!

Couldn't believe it when I found these Clacton Butlins lapel badges at the show today in a box of odds and ends.
Dated 1966, same year as our car!
