G20 Day Van pictures.

Apollo the Chevrolet G20 Van all over the place, doing a few different things!

Conway Cruiser, the rebuild and re canvas.

Never believe that a trailer tent is as good as they say!  I was told that people used this the week before I collected it.  Glad I only paid a few quid for it!  I have a new canvas for it and so the Conway Cruiser will soon be back to its former glory!  Inside is really nice, just a small tear in the canvas!

Outside is quite tidy.

Look at the canvas on this side!!!!!    Oooops

Other side is quite good

Inside is really nice.

Fl;oor and fridge is good!

Inflatable Awning, I Want to Drive and a Caravan

Found a blow up awning for the Caravan.  Took it out to give it a try.  Wow, so easy!  And how big is the dish on the roof of the van?  Lol, makes me smile.

Hyundai Terracan, I Want to Tow new workplace!

Conway Cardinal Clubman, 1990

The new Conway Cardinal Clubman, canvas in amazing condition and inside is great too.  Just need to give it a service and all will be good.

Keep it simple!

This says it all really!

I Want to Tow takes Tas's horse, Buka to a show!  A great day out.

Haloween was fun.  We carved a few scary faces and Leanne did a fairy!  The we put them in the "Wiggly Tree"  Looked fab.  I even planted a few of the seeds, and now there are some shoots growing in the green house!

Apollo the Kellogg Chevrolet G20 Day Van in the leaves.  It was autum when this was taken, so still catching up!

I Want to Drive test success!

 The Bothers Trim, from Bournemouth, both passed their driving tests at Bournemouth test centre, the day after each other.  Another couple of great drives from some fab pupils!  Great work guys.

Away in the great Dorset countryside with Apollo (the Day Van, used to be owned by Chakka Khan!) and the Coleman Sunridge Trailer tent.  That was one huge beast of a trailer.  It could sleep 8 inside with no issues!

A Catch Up!

The last couple of years have been amazingly busy and seem to have flown by!

My Dad developed mixed dementia 4 years ago, a mix of Alzheimer and Vascular dementia, this makes life difficult for us and it must be a horrible place for him to be.  He is still at home but with almost full time care which is putting huge pressure on his financial resources.  Its not doing too much for me and Caroline and the girls either!

However we have been helping to develop a non invasive monitoring system called Howz!.  It is more cost effective than the other major players, Just Checking and Canary, and allows us to see on the mobile phone, what movement there is inside his house, see when the doors open and close (so we know when the carers arrive) and we can also see the temperature in the house.  Its a great system and works very well and is reliable.  As a result of the work we have put in we can now supply and fit the Howz system in almost any home.  So if you have an elderly relative who you would like to ensure they are safe, warm and well, give me a call and we can talk. 0788 7744 163 will get me.

This is the information tat you get from the Howz! App.

As a result, I need to be with him more and more, so the driving school has taken a back seat, this has its own issues as you can imagine.  Added to this, the fact the the websites have had huge issues, apparently being attacked and left for dead, we are now trying to get them back on track, but this is proving to be a very long and tedious process, so much so that I am now wondering if the websites are really worth all the bother.  Social media, Face Book, is where I get most of my work from, when I need it.

I Want to Tow could be great, but again I find it difficult to afford the care for Dad whilst I am out for 4 full days on trailer training courses.  The Shogun has now been sold and we have now, a Hyundai Terracan.  An amazing car / 4x4.  It does everything and does it all quite economically, about 34 mpg when towing, not too shabby.

The new, to us, Hyundai Terracan.  The new tow truck for I Want To Tow.

Dorset Car Club goes from strength to strength, with more members and more shows to go to. See the Dorset Car Club Face Book page for more information.

Dorset Car Club at Braemore House Classic Car Show.

We have had several "special sections" to the club which most seem to have gone as fast as they came into place!

The stationary engine section!  Made us all realise how much work goes into keeping these machines working.  

My BSA stationary engine, powers a lathe and a man!!!

The sports car section, well Paul bought a  Celicia after I bought an MR2 (I still have it in the shed!) but he sold his.

2002 Toyota MR2, all ready for the summer!

However the trailer tent section is still alive and kicking.  We have mainly the hard top camper variety, and they are so easy to put up and take down.

Collection a Cardinal Clubman from the Black Country with the I Want to Tow Terracan

Black Country, the newest Clubman, but its 1988 model.

We will be keeping this Cardinal Clubman, its a 1990 and all up together, until something breaks!

So that is it for now, but I hopefully will be able to spend more time on this over the following months and years.
