I've just been reminded that friday is a public holiday here...can't say what the reason is for the holiday...but it may just push this another day...

...Like TEN AND A HALF...

Southernboy · Post by **Southernboy** » Thu 20 Mar, 2014 10:55

SEVEN.....

bertiejaffa · Post by **bertiejaffa** » Thu 20 Mar, 2014 11:06

....and a half, bearing in mind the public holidays, Oscar's trial, the suspected abduction of a plane in Barry's Garage and the full moon....

You forgot to include a President that has just used R.250,000,000.00 of the taxpayers money on his private residence...

What?... £30?

Oscar will run for president anyway, he heard a prerequisit is to spend 25 years in jail......

Southernboy · Post by **Southernboy** » Thu 20 Mar, 2014 14:07

.... Nice...£30 is £30...anywhere in the world....

Ah yes, Oscar... what an act!!

Does that not mean a day off ?

Southernboy · Post by **Southernboy** » Fri 21 Mar, 2014 08:39

...yes it does...but it's also a day off for everyone else, so nothing gets done in terms of getting stuff made etc etc..

Also, it means I get roped into doing "gardening"....my pet hate !! .... I may have to "escape" and drop the soft top...for an hour or two....

I have a full tank that's itching to be used a little...and the weather here today is slightly cloudy with a pleasant cool breeze and some sunshine popping out occaisionally... perfect for sunscreen free / top down driving....

FIVE..........only 5 to go....

Southernboy · Post by **Southernboy** » Sun 23 Mar, 2014 10:58

..... FOUR....
...and whilst some were asleep still, or doing the "choir boy" thing at their local chapel (include all other variations to "chapel" if your persuasions don't include one)....
Here is a pic of my kitchen worktop.... I decided to make up a set of wood templates of the brackets I designed...just to physically check that my measurements were correct....Without being excessively modest or bragging either...it was perfection when I fitted it to my car....

One small and minor change will be required to the actual armrest itself...but that is fortunately so minor as to be more aesthetic than practical...

At least the weather is splendid...highs of 24 and clear skies....

TWO.....

.......and just two more steps to be taken....but I'm guessing this may be a delayed launch.... poor service may delay lift-off a few days....

ONE...[/b]

Well here's the rub.... the best laid plans and all that... It seems I won't be revealing all tomorrow... Ive been held up by one supplier and that means it delays matters...I will start counting "+ ONE".... and hopefully it'll be no more than + 3...

So... PLUS ONE!

Davejue1 · Post by **Davejue1** » Thu 27 Mar, 2014 07:12

Booooooo!

Southernboy · Post by **Southernboy** » Thu 27 Mar, 2014 07:42

...... Yep..that's how I feel !
But here's a small "taster"...the new "improved" armrest with the base edge trim. This will mean that the finish of the item is perfectly trimmed and no "lumpiness" will be exposed at the bottom as a result of the leather upholstery. What you also see is the "Cupholder" which can be folded away when not in use.... (pity it hasn't been bead blasted and anodised yet...but that's because I need all the other bits to be done at the same time!!

)

Southernboy · Post by **Southernboy** » Thu 27 Mar, 2014 08:05

Here is a pic of "bead blasted" ally.... this will be the one option of finish, the other option will be bead blasted and then anodised black... The black will have the same slightly textured finish...

Have you managed to source any leather to match the OEM Oregon? Id love one trimmed in Tanin Red Oregon leather
