    Best tool I ever, ever bought is my Dremel 4000. It’s got me out of sooooo many tight corners it’s untrue. I had one years ago when I used to build model aeorplanes and helicopters. Back then had a separate power supply with speed control on that, now it’s all in the hand held unit. From cutting off seized exhaust manifold studs to cutting/fine tuning my recent arch welding venture to polishing my watch to building a model of the USS Enterprise (drilling about 5million windows) for my daughter it’s a fantastically versatile tool that I use at some point cutting, grinding, drilling, polishing, wire wheeling, sanding, on almost every job I do. It’s like a super precision angle grinder. If you haven’t got one, get one. You won’t regret it. F89F10FA-DBEF-4437-BE35-BB08AC99CC98.jpeg 0DBB0422-035A-437C-BDFD-6C9252683D87.jpeg

    They’re absolutely fantastic aren’t they. I’ve got the 4000 too. It’s absolutely brilliant

    Blimey, talking of vests, then that picture, looks like you're becoming an extremist!

    Haha nice one. Extreme karaoke. I'm going to sing 'My Way' just before the engine detonates after fitting a cambelt kit wrong.

    Have you got the cheeky resistor of doom wired into those sidelights on your Mk2 Tristan?

    God no, got the bin years ago. That and making a proper headlight loom kit was one of the first things I did, even before bigger brakes! I presume you ask as they look bright? Good reflectors/lenses and the camera settings make them look bright.

    Gotcha! Love your palace though! If I ever actually got something like that, I’d have nothing to dream of! ;)

    I’ve been on a bit of a buying spree.

    Some deep 3/8 sockets and 1/4” Allen keys
