United States of GRIZZ - Just how random do you want it?

Well

VW Caddy sold yesterday

Gone off to Essex to join three other VW’s in a VW family.

Will tax the green Rollerskate at the end of the month and use it as a daily car until someone sees it and wants to buy it.

After all…… 2.0 liters of unbridled French passion with 138 bhp at your feet wrapped in lurid green will always be fun.

RIGHT ???

The Rezin Rockit still needs to be marketed and sold as well.


Caddy headed out after extensive inspection and shooting the breeze with two cool VW guys.






Looking forward to what Paul, the new owner does with it. He has a few plans, all centred around a mini camper build.
As they have a full sized VW LT35 former horsebox camper conversion as well.

I will keep in touch with him to see this evolve.

I removed the 16” Seat alloys before selling the van as they cost me £330.00 just to buy and fit. So I sold them separately for £220.00 to a guy who has two Caddies and one already on the same wheels.

Last views of the Caddy as sold.

It served me well for exactly 7 months.


Off into the sunset.

Being a 22 year old girl has its perks.


But a 22 year old car less so.


Certainly pretty in lurid green, but lacquer peeling is not.


So I decided to try putting some lipstick on a pig before you send it to auction as my friend Stas in Siberia said.


Last pic shows what I had to work with.
Multiple colours.
Bet you are glad I never went full commando on this job.


Removing under bonnet sound deadening to get to the screenwash nozzle and wiping down the hood/bonnet I also used the centreline of the car to work from because the lines of the front end curve in multiple directions.


A bit of string stuck down to calculate how wide the black vinyl needed to be to cover the damage. 94mm


Then added some luminosity and bracketed it all in more black pinstripes.


I am also not doing the roof and tailgate because of the complexity of curves and lines.


I think I am happy with the result.


Certainly better than a load of flaking clear lacquer.


Looking forward to using it as a daily.

Vinyl stripe applied to cover lacquer peel on hood/bonnet.


Do use FORWARD  function if you lose the will to live  





First beer of the year today.

I was digging in the garden earlier so the beer was quite pleasant.

Hence the garage and carport being filled to capacity as well.

But I have to agree.

However, making space opens up the game.

Dog psychologist to the Snoopy Phone please.


Just randomly wondering what it is that makes this Terrier and maybe others run around in circles or squares or triangles or rhombus patterns.

Loves a ball and favourite is fetching and dropping off to be thrown again and again balls. Loves the game stepped up with 5 different balls that all react differently.

Video goes on a bit but this is a different ball that talks for a bit. Heavy at probably 500-900 grams.

She is a silent dog 98% of the time. But this ball makes her bark and run around more.







Any explanation or ideas on firstly the running in circles, done with all her balls and other toys.

Secondly the barking at this one toy.

Go on……….

Try explaining.

Zoomies, it show's they're happy.

Non stop zooming only with that ball.

Happiest rescue I’ve ever seen.

Typical COVID dog.

Third floor, in a cage, never walked outside etc.

Got Parvo less than two weeks after Sally got her. £1400 over a weekend in vets hospital later…..

Probably the best money ever spent.

Dogs are always worth it.

This dog has never brought anything but joy.

Probably a year old here.

Loves water.




And a bit more fun.
