That's not good
Quite. While I need a diagnosis to move forward, its still a shock to read it.
Live goes on, and today I feel good (ish)

I dont know until I go see him. Im not one for taking tablets, even though I was on some nasty ones a few yrs ago. They give me more side effects and harm than what they are supposed to ease.
What Im not looking forward to is dealing with social services trying to get some financial help. I haven't worked since last August.

The perils of eBay when you've had a few drinks

But it was only £72 and just around the corner. Better still, when I picked it up this morning the chap gave me a service kit that he'd bought for it

The wrong one for this model, but just right for the smaller Bambi that I have. To buy the kit, £100
In effect I've got a compressor for nothing and a service kit for a knock down price. The guts from the compressor will be put into my other Bambi project to restore that to its original spec.
Imsure there is a helpline you can call

sad day, my dad handed in a pile of whitworth spanners as he can no longer use tools (arthritis and claw hands), much of the stuff he has had 65 years when he was an apprentice including the Britool socket set he paid up as an apprentice 66 years ago:
Some of the more interesting stuff:
Light alloy slim ratchet
lion Brand and pennant spanners:
billings USA:
Nicely made whitworth ratchet spanner
Much as i am not a fan of adjustable:
Not a make of wet and dry abrasive that I was familiar with:
Durex would discourage most fornication

See if that truck was super shiny with the dream paint job. I’d be more cut up about it than my diagnosis.
Perspective, eh!

Back in the 1980's, the rage in Southern Calif. was stick on primer spots and bullet holes.That just adds to the patina! All the rage these days so I'm led to believe

Yeah, I'm sure I can remember seeing the stick-on bullet holes on cars in the Uk back then.
Probably don't need stick-on ones these days!

Citroen 2CVs ? Something to do with the Bond film with Roger Moore and Grace Jones. I knew a guy and his girlfriend that “ruined” the stunt where Grace Jones BASE jumped the Eiffel Tower , they did it a few weeks before filming started
