Doc on tour, France, Spain, Morroco.

[Northernraider]

I dinnae want to feck up my exsisting bottles either

 

[CaptainPaul]

Awfully manged but super friendly wee stray got a bit of grub from us this morning

 

[paddymcc]

Do you have the option of running the fridge on 12v from the lithium Tam? I know you don't have much lithium but I imagine the solar is keeping it full?
And the van looks great.

 

[CaptainPaul]

Found Steve's van but he's not in it and I don't want to leave the stuff at it in case he says feck off lol

 

[CaptainPaul]

Just meet up with Steve Barchetta47 and he's taken the relay baton for the next stage of the mission Tams brakes & gas hose so he's heading southwards and if you keep in touch with him on here he should be down your area and get you sorted
Meanwhile I'm heading to Larache which is another shit hole that nobody likes!

Nah the fridge isn't great on 12v anyway.


I've tried a local bottle from one of the other campers and it seems to work so I'll have to go in to town and get one of those

Just sent you a PM.

Welcome to team rescue Tams brakes!

 

[corconx]

Why didn’t you just fix an underslung tank too then you have best of both worlds.

Doc is looking very good and your artistic work is very subtle and not too in your face. Personally I wouldn’t have done it but I think you had already definitely made up your mind even before posting the question.

Hope you meet up with your parts soon so you can travel back with good brakes.

Welcome to team rescue Tams brakes!

That’s me. I’ve got the gas hose as well.

 

[Carpmart]

That’s me. I’ve got the gas hose as well.

Have you checked if he needs anything else?

 

[CaptainPaul]

I've still got the new number plates and their surrounds, the sat nav unit, the cheese & the coffee, so you'll still have something nice to look forward to when you've done the brake cylinder and gas set up, it'll be like Christmas and your birthday all in the same month

 

[Northernraider]

I'm gonna be back in Spain or down the side of a mountain before I see these parts lol. Don't know when I'll ever see my cheese and coffee

I didn't want to chance it or I would of! Lol

 

[PaulW2]

Just a question on technique. I assume that he uses one of those little airbrushing guns and stencils for the main animal figures?

 

[Sedge5]

With these parts for Northernraider it’s a bit like that ‘Race Across the World’ TV programme - very exciting!

 

[dalspa]

More like Whacky Races.

No he uses a small paintbrush


And no stencils it's entirely freehand .

Excellent control. He's committed quite a lot to memory too - outline of scent hound sniffing and so on.

 

[Just smiffy]

I’m partial to cheese Paul, when are you getting here…

 

[9Etype]

I've started turning fridge off overnight to see if that stretches my time. As its as cold as the fridge overnight anyway loo

You should fit a big gas tank under your van saves all the problems hope you sort out your brake problems soon

We stayed at Larache and loved it, on the car park near the port, the only downside was the dog guarding the kids play area decided it was good to bark all night

Yes it's a great wee place I love the old town and the fortress and the port and in my humble opinion its one of the best & cheapest places for fresh fish in Morocco
I'll be doing a spot of fishing myself this evening here...

The mum is such a sweetheart, lovely natured.

I'm not surprised the poor guy has angst.

His work also seems to have been in the slow lane which can't help his mental state.

 

[Al n Val]

What’s happened to the window Tam

There's a few of them like that. Some big projects though
