The requirement of taking these cars to a DVLA centre has now stopped!

The biggest problem with repaired cars is that as soon as they are catergorised as repaired it does not matter how well they have been repaired the 'marker' stays with them and the values are about 40% less than they otherwise would have been - plus it is illegal not to disclose the marker when selling the vehicle.

I had assumed that the four repairable had somehow been 'rescued'?

Does anyone know weather any have been recovered, or are they still drifting, or all now smashed to pieces?

What a difference. Looks great?

I assume there is an ex boatyard manager looking for a new job now?

Is that Calm Waters? My dad hired Calm Waters when I was a kid and that was many, many years ago

Whilst their pub is closed my daughter in law is doing 'traffic management' at our local Folkestone centre. On her first day she was offered a jab as they had one left, which of course she took rather than it being wasted. At the moment if they have any over it is being used at the Police Station which is nearby so no wasteage there!

Ask Steve at Derby's Quay Beccles. He will know. He worked for them for many years.

Thanks for the info. They were outdrives and alloy.

I have got 2x used but good condition propellors to dispose of. They were fitted to my Fairline Targa 34 fitted with twin BMW diesels. (From memory I believe she was the 1994 boat show model and BMW engines were an unusual fitting?) The props were with the boat when I bought her and have been in my workshop ever since. Now for disposal, any idea of best place? Thanks. Happy. (aka Alan)

I notice that the two highest bidders have very low feedback - if thats true to e bay form - I reckon it will still be available after the auction ends!?

1895?

US TOO. Alan and Eve

Oh! Thanks for that. An expense I did not accept. I'll go back to cooking the evening meal now! Cheers.

The condiments have to be in sachets because of covid regs.

We have just crossed over the M20 at Folkestone. The road is totally clear and all the trucks have gone for as far as the eye can see - progress, maybe? I do hope so for the sake of the drivers.

Personally I would tell the French Government that all the drivers had been tested and they were all negative and let them roll.

Bit late with that then! Hired Absolute Freedom last year and thought it was OK then. Will be a great boat when re-fitted. Some hand rails on the stern would be handy (imho) but thats another story!?

Maybe Andy will tell us?

Derby's Quay at Beccles also have a slipway. I have seen them take 35+' boats out. Probably charge you but they are friendly helpful guys there. Worth ringing them.

This would be easier to get on and off too?

I actually make it less than that?! Have a GREAT ONE.

The Polaroids faded, just like my memorary now!

When I was young - yes I can just about remember - I was quite keen on photography and took a lot of slides for a while which would have been mostly 'Broads' related, no not that sort, we used Poloroid for that! Anyway, the last time I saw them was when we moved 20 years ago and they were stored in a loft I created in the garage. As far as I know they will have been dry and kept in the dark. I am thinking of delving into this space to find them (not an easy task) and putting them onto a DVD but am unsure whether they will have survived enough to make this worthwhile? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
