Nope, mandatory. Not a problem though as everyone wears kilts here anyway. As per the stereotypes.

Ollie, the ground behind the trees is raised, and it looks like abandoned broken concrete that's the culprit. Will have all the holes filled with ******** in about 20 minutes just leveling the plot! Getting a bit itchy feet now, so i mocked up a scale sketch of how everything might fit...

Another weekend, another prgress update! Set about the scrawny stump on the far left. No action for a week, so i decided to break in gently. 3 hours in and i had this: Pretty easy all things considered. left a nice gap though!! The next step was the horrible big stump on the right. Ugh...

Planning permission granted, and more importantly environmental department checked to ensure those trees are not protected, it was time to buy some "old fashioned tools" The woman at the till asked if i had big plans at the weekend. Seriously. So my response was clear: "I'm going to put on...

I am a car nut. There, said it, done. Now thats out the way, let me fill in some background. I've been itching for some proper tinker space for ages. At the moment, i have nearly 5 cars (more on the "nearly" later) and i have always struggled with the space needed to feed my mechanical habit...

Not for long... ;) Hello from Denniston, soon to be Aberdeen though...:thumbup:
