Unfinished Project [Part Two] Getting There.

i used to love 'blue peter' when i was a kid, the presenters back then were valerie singleton, peter purvis and of course, my favourite, john noakes, i will never, ever forget the programme where they had a baby elephant lulu in the studio and it proceeded to run amok, shitting all over the floor whilst noaksy and the elephant keeper tried to restrain it, eventually slipping in the elephas maximus poo-pile and it dragging him through it, fucking hilarious! tonight, i feel like poor old john noakes, i'm in the shed almost everyday, putting up with dangerous and his mad-man ranting's, striving to build the racer for the new season, just like 'blue peter' really, cardboard cut-outs, sticky back plastic and sellotape, old washing-up squeezy bottles and pieces of string, the item at the top of the picture is the carefully milled brake lever, the item at the bottom of the photo is what it looked like, roughed out and ready for machining, the finished item at the top is scrap, i miscalculated the mounting hole and it's too long and fouls the socket head screws holding the footpeg mounting to the frame, that throw's the 'pull' ratio out and the brake will be ineffective, so, the elephant dumped on me tonight big-time, like valerie used to say, 'get an adult to help you......'
