I hadn't treated myself to a new project this year up until now. So here it is....

Jan 84 VDC Chimp Junior

(not my pic, only turned up lunchtime)

Very nice Steve. Pretty rare I would have thought too?

All Chimps are reasonably rare Andy but yes, the Juniors slightly more so.

I went into a Wilko for the first time yesterday as I was waiting for some keys to be cut and the booth was outside.

I have to say, judging by what they were selling, I expect that hoe to last for 1 maybe 2 hours

dancetothedrummersbeat · « **Reply #2658 on:** October 14, 2015, 10:36 AM »

It was only £3 Chris. It's only to use on a very small section of my front garden, so it should be ok. Any green fingered radsters out there? Not sure we've had a gardening thread before $:-\$
Am absolutely delighted with those Hutch beartraps Chris - Thanks

1 or 2 hours with a hoe is more than enough .

I'm stoked that you're happy with the pedals Andy.

As for anything else I write, you can safely assume that 99% of it is't serious.

I'd happily pay £3 for 2 hours with a hoe!

Couldn't say no to a cheap hoe. Dutch as well. Love a bit of the continent

A few more to swell the ranks

New deck arrived, I used to skate with Steve Douglas back in the day when he was known as Hamster (for his chubby cheeks) at Harrow Skatepark. Back when it was Solid Surf and then when we became the infamous Harrow Boyz, really happy to have this as I remember when he sent my mate Dave Hopkins a brand new one in 87 or 88 fresh off the production line, I would have loved one back them but no one sold them in the UK. The reissues came out and I finally found somewhere in Oz that had one in the colour I wanted...

tyres look in great nick andy

hardest park of that build to get tbh

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately they're both 2.125's. I bought an orphan tyre on ebay the other week as it was a great price (£18), and i thought it would come in handy. Good job i did, as the 1.75 rear tyre fell to pieces as i was taking it off the rim this afternoon. The tread was pretty worn anyway, so no great loss. I gave these two tyres a good scrub this afternoon and they came out great. A smearing in vaseline and a good spray with tyre shine should give them a new lease of life

Full resto on this Andy, or survivor look?

Better using something like Autoglym vinyl & rubber cleaner, vaseline's not good for rubber apparently.
