Re: Another one on eBay
I see its got the sagging-roof-syndrome like mine, but that split will be easy enough to fix. Not sure I could live with the gold quilting

Re: Roof lifting when windy!!!
Note to Chauffeur:
Smithers, I note that the roof of one's Portafold is showing signs of having pattered up and down a bit in the 80mph breeze that rattled through one's country seat, last night - better keep the old Bentley below 75 next time we tow the Portafold down to Henley, what.

Re: Paint
Soda Blasting II I've found another downside to soda-blasting - I've had several sessions attempting to fill the millions (well hundreds) of pin-holes that the blasting exposed and, as a consequence, the painting hasn't happened, yet. The downside is that the lightly keyed surface that the blasting ...

Re: Bargain wheels & tyres!
A good price. Thinking laterally (quite legal, even for boring olde f**rts like me), 10" mini wheels were more than a bit popular on trailers. A surf of some of the trailer parts websites suggests that they are still rather popular and new 10" after-market steel wheels, with a 23mm offset, are readi...

Re: Collective Noun
Not sure we should go down this route because 'they' probably think we're mad for owning those little-folding-plastic-boxes-on-wheels anyway :think: :think: ... and as for spending money on them :crazy: :crazy: Thinking about what a group of parked Portafolds looks like... how about a Huddle of...? ...
