	Double whammy today. Been busy deconstructing the kitchen (read: Gutting) today and only just got the post in. Two large envelopes for me. Opened them both, one Local, one from Steve Vaughan in Texas. Plates from his truck for my collection and a Gecko to go with our mask collection, as I have a few already. Thanks guys.

	Had a random PM from www.tnttt.com website, from one of the members.... "Would you like a couple of my old plates from Nebraska ? " Of course I would. ;D So yesterday they landed with some US $$'s to trade for some UK coinage. Bargain, and thanks Lynn.

Thanks Billy !!! Nicola threatened to beat the stupid grin on my face off it with the plate and then to insert it where it would hurt. I think she realised how chuffed I was.

Never a problem. These plates really are a bonus to my life, so there is never a rush. They continue to be a treat for me.

	Another one of those very random plates to come into my life. These are quite rare. (well, I think so) I made a comment on here when I saw some that someone owns..... a few weeks later I got a PM from Billy to ask if I wanted one of these oval plates? My response was predictable. Turns out he found it at a tip years ago.... and it had ended up in a pile of stuff in his garage. Now it is one of the stars of my collection along with my Purple Heart plate. Thanks Billy !!

	These two plates are the ones I wanted most desperately for years, and the condition as mentioned, is perfect. I love used plates. They are right behind my Purple Heart plate on my list of favourite ever plates. One went straight up, and the other one will have to wait as I am planning a bit of rearranging, getting all my rare and unusual plates together and sticking stuff like novelty plates and dealer plates together. I think my next search will be for some Chevy dealer show plates. Something like these in this pic. Love the Parker one. In other news...... I am planning to do my garage in the style of an old petrol station forecourt when Nicola lets me add the carport I want to the front of it. I have not been successful in finding and buying a vintage petrol pump to restore yet. However, this morning I had a rather large delivery by overnight courier..... Pepsi can is for perspective, as is my latest "bush find" roadworks sign..... one I had eyed for about 6 months where roadworks were done a year ago. MOT test center sign is embossed and a relic of the 60's, new ones are just vinyl stickers. This one is solid, thick aluminium. This sign will be just perfect for my creation, along with various others I have collected over time. A massive thank you to mate Tim for donating it to my ongoing madness.

	Today was not a good day for me, so rather than rip a head off, or sit in a corner crying, I thought I would do some woodwork in the shed, but before I go there, I ended up in the garage, sorting out and grouping my "newest" number plates for my collection. Then I took some of the plates that did not "fit" off the rafters Followed by a significant change, including removal of all the metal signs. They will be refitted later when I have revised the current layout of the garage interior. This includes removing the up and over single door, and boarding up that side and fitting a large hardwood door, or a door and a half if I can find one. After a few hours I was happy. One side.... And looking from the other side. I have some more room to fit some of my traded plates, and will look out for some special ones in the mean time to add.

	Not sure where to post this. I am "desperately" looking for any old 1963 vintage "A" registration plate. I do have a bus with some on, but they will go when the bus sells. I am looking for this as a friend in America collects only 1963 plates from around the world, so this would be a neat surprise for him. Please PM me if you have one, I am happy to Paypal you the postage, or collect if I am in the area (Not Scotland etc ) Thanks Rian

	Well, today I sent off some plates to the USA, and some were sent my way. They fit perfectly into part of my focusing on specializing a bit in what I collect. Disabled plates, Vet plates, and specialty relating to services like the National Guard will make it a bit more challenging. Today's trade. Looking forward to getting these and fitting them up in the rafters.

	Well, after the last update, I can say that a whole load of changes have gone on in the various spaces Ashley has created. I get the feeling he prefers to do stuff, rather than just talk about it. So posting updates are less important than actually getting out there and doing stuff. HIS FULL BUILD THREAD HERE retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=othrmod&action=display&thread=115116&page=1 I had a job interview in Portsmouth yesterday, about 5 minutes and less than a mile from his place. So I took the torches I had made for him for the "manspace" over..... When I got there at 10.15, I found the man busy in the kitchen. Making some Bacon Butties.... and coffee. These were quickly dispatched, Thanks a lot mate, they were rather good, in fact, very good. Of course we went and had a good look at the garage, its contents, and his games room. I have to say, the photos do not do any of the stuff he has made, any justice. It is as good as you can imagine. While out there, he produced this book and gave it to me..... just how much better can a day get? Ashley has also been collecting some number plates for me while doing his day/night job, and gave these to me before I left for the interview. Included was this mini cab taxi license plate. And possibly the most important sign ever..... It will be going down the end of the drive at the garage, so then I can leave a sign on the house front door to say I am at the "back-END" if people come knocking. So a great day out, meeting a cool guy and getting to feed both my belly and my hobby/habit. Today the postman knocked and delivered this old sign, liberated 30-plus years ago by a certain Andy, member on various forums. So another great sign to add to my slowly growing collection of random signs. Once I have re-arranged the garage and created some new spaces, all my signs will be going up again.
