A grand time was had by all at The NHRA Supernats, we went down on Thus and back home yesterday evening. Lots of great cars there ,put the Austin in the top 10 voting display. More to thumb my nose at the trailer queens that are built to win trophy's. Everyone I spoke to liked it.

That is great to hear Davina.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Side mission, making a teardrop caravan. After the faff of putting up the drive away awning/tent I decided to make a small caravan so bought a trailer ,it was made on an old caravan chassis! so it turned back into a caravan. Quick build as need to get the Hereford in my shop soon. 2 1/2 days work and its all framed up ready for the ply sides to go on, waiting for thin ply to  make the curved roof. 6x4 sleeping area for my air bed on floor then a 4x4 area to sit, put in worktop at front. Cooking station to fit to outside with tarp roof ,enough for a few days away at a hot rod run.

Roof done, need another length of alloy angle to trim roof to side join. It curved okay in my shrinker/stretcher, just one section of side to clad and when trim is done I can start  painting. Not bad for so far 5 days graft.

Nearly finished the teardrop, just one more tube of clear sealant to go along the edge of the vinyl roof cover. Garage at home squared up so it will fit in and hope to move it in on Sat. Fri the 12th off to NSRA Hot Rod Drags at Santa Pod raceway for the weekend with my friends from hot rod club. I have "50s" style clothes to wear, straight cut jeans with turn ups, check blouse, dungarees, deck shoes and a canvas look jacket with leather look collar. Have been unable to find a denim jump suit to match the other girls in my size as out of stock even online.

Got the jumpsuit so we will be the Roadster's crew !! Sorting out the workshop ready to get the Hereford in ,that will be a few weeks time before my mate can trailer it for me. Moving stuff around, throwing scrap away, filling bin bags and need to clean the shelf off .Oh its not a shelf its a bench with stuff piled on it!! Also need to make a charging  bay for the battery powered tools, make a swappable mount for the shrinker/stretcher and guillotine. Dusty old job as filler dust/cobwebs get everywhere.

Fantastic!  Good to see out in public!  Wonderful rod mods!
