Tudor is coming around today to adjust Milly's Engine & make sure she is running right because I have now done 400 miles since the rebuild & the engine is much looser & is running cooler. Hopefully all will be fine.
While I'm in work today my mrs will pack all our stuff & were off down West Wales for 3 days hopefully the weather will stay fine for us. :D

After finishing Work Friday. Got home Milly was down Tudors, he was tweeting the engine and he found a problem, the injector seals I got from Heritage were leaking air intermittently. Hes put it right for now but I need to get genuine ones. Tudor is going to get some for me from Germany.

Once I got Milly back we hitched up in the rain & set off to Carmarthen for the vintage show:-
http://www.otvintageshow.org.uk/

The web site looked good but it was shite.
We got there at 10PM & the guy pitched us up on the tarmac.
We walked over to the main hall to watch the singer, she was ok & there were only about 20 people there. We had a few cans & whiskey & went to bed around 1AM a bit worse for wear.

The next morning we got up & started to put the van back to move to a proper pitch. One of the organizers came over & explained to us what we need to do. Quite a friendly guy & I thanked him.

A few minutes later another guy came over & started telling us off for various things, I remained nice to him & polite even though he was a grumpy git.

As he started to walk off he said I'll give you two minutes to leave or I'll get my tractor & tow you off.

This hit a nerve & I replied "How will you hitch it to my van while I'm smashing your F*&^%)$Ng face in. He said "2 minutes & I be getting it". I replied why wait get it now you old B!£$%^(d & I ran after him when he started to run off I laughed at him & we decided to leave!

Once we left we headed to Tenby & stayed in White Well Campsite near Lydstep, this site is great, it has an excellent club house & is next door to the best static caravan park in Wales Lydstep sands with stunning views of the Gower & Caldy Island:-

Once pitched up here we headed to Tenby for the day.

We had a great day in Tenby & decided to have a BBQ, my brother Andrew rang our M8 Scott & invited them down as it was such a great place. No sooner had he done this than it started to rain & we had to use an umbrella to stop the BBQ going out.

Our Friends Scott & Kate came for what was their first camping trip, in their new camper a 1990 Talbot 2.5 D fair play it was like new:-
