Another summer almost done.

Well as I am still in the UK, not sure how much summer will be left when I return home. It is 40 degrees there at the mo so I hear. Anyway plan is, to drive it till it gets too cold, take it to my new shop / studio. Pull /6 and drop in SB. And trans, together with stronger rear end. Then I think I have decided to paint it black. With some flake accents. Thinking about putting an earlier front end on it to "pretty it up".
Then sit back, and wait for next summer.

Can I join you please Jeff!!

Back home in Canada now, not a minute too soon. I could never live in the UK again. I hope I never have to. I don't know if I have changed or if the UK has changed. Perhaps a bit of both?

It is overcrowded, overpriced, dirty, people in the street seem disgruntled and unhelpful.

It was lovely hitting border control in Toronto, being greeted with a smile and told "Welcome home".

anyway, now just looking at the car....... And thinking. Off to the shop this afternoon to start the big move.

Kinda sums it up well Jeff. Have to say it's not everyone in the UK, but the majority have become so intrinsic and selfish that most people would walk by a person in need than help or assist.

From everything I've read and people I've spoken to, I don't Believe there are many nicer, friendlier with a better quality of life places than Canada............ Nope, not jealous at all......

Have to agree with you there Jeff. Norway is the same. I think when you move to a much nicer country you notice how sheet the UK really is. I found it huge culture shock at seeing City Centers and even towns the way they are.

We have mostly moved back to Scotland now but could not move back to living in a town. We have a house in the country and love it. I still have my house in Norway and I love living here.

Yep your not wrong Jeff the UK is a shi.t hole what ever way you look at it, that's why we are known as the dirty man of Europe.

you've been in London

its not representative of the whole country at all

mind most people I know seem happy to be out of recession, the job market has opened right up again, and they are enjoying 0.5 interest on their mortgages.

still some positives
unlikely to be shot by your classmates or the police
unlikely to be killed by the weather
unlikely to be burned gassed by earthquake/volcano
free health care

Lets say I saw changes in all of them. Some, more than others.
Not good changes either.

How many cars are there in the UK? I was shocked!

Jeff, surf has been fantastic this week ; good as it gets

Of course I'd rather be in Portugal...less traffic, only 12m residents, polite, good food. I'll get me coat

I like your car in the green!

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » Fri Sep 11, 15 8:12 pm

I was meant to pick up my Glen D'Arcy while in the UK. I did not have time. So it is still there!

My surfing days are done I think.

I feel I should go black, as the body is so perfect on it.
