A cocktail shaker and all the associated paraphernalia. Ordered on Amazon last night, collected it from the locker down the road this morning, god I love Prime. Just need some more spirits now, I wonder if Amazon do those too...

I believe bartenders study for professional qualifications - you going down that route?

Going by the contents of that pic it looks like your head might not be the only thing that's sore in the morning

Tidy looking and shockingly for a sprinter of that age...no visible rust...

It is a very tidy van for its age, no rust in the normal places on this one, a little on the wheel arches.

Full service history, one owner from new and only 99k on the clock.

 

[Beeezer]

how much did it set you back?

More than I wanted to pay!! But it's what I wanted.

Been looking at those, need to find out a bit more, Over the pit this week with it give it a good dose of wax oil mixed with hyd oil.

I've never had anything to do with it other than whincing when paying for stuff made from it, and wishing I had the capability to make my own. I think the first project will be carbon headligh bowls for the Speed Triple. If they come out well then I might try some engine covers. I've a bit on at the mo' so its not going to happen soon, luckily neither is the carbon, so I'll post up when I get round to making something.

I used to make carbon headlights. I took the mould off sisinlaws LC headlamp;-) I didn't alter the sides and they were a right pain to get out of the mould.

My fault. Got it in my head the 1 and 3 both had one piece bed and headstock and the 3 was the short bed. Been a while since I read up on it.

 

[Perry Owens]

No, not just the book - the whole kit. Should make life easier for a novice machinist like me.
