The Hunt
Seek.. Surely the best part of any purchase is the hunt, tracking down that 911, that 911 Part, or more broadly in this instance, something to put on the Driveway. Not knowing what you want to hunt can really put a dampener on that experience. With the prospect of the 4Runner being collected any day…
All Good Things
I never thought it would happen, certainly not after the first time I never thought it would happen, but when a seed is planted it has to grow into something. One evening last week, I simply thought to myself that perhaps it was time to move the Beast on, and start a new adventure. Or…
Croeso i Dibynadwy
Welcome to Dependable.. It’s a very powerful agent, knowing that you can depend on someone or something. I had that with Andy in Brighton, but with Andy closing his Doors and me moving to Tunbridge Wells, I was without that security. With a RoadTrip to Wales on the Calendar and the knowledge that there were…
Sitting Comfortably..?
Summer ’25 It’s been a minute..! And what a Summer it was.. An absolute scorcher, so much so that a Hosepipe Ban in Kent has meant that the 4Runner hasn’t seen a Sponge since early July.. The July Wash & Wax has done a good job though, protecting the Beast from the worst of it..…
Beast Restoration: Post Paint
Wax On, Wax Off Tackled the Flatting and Polishing one Weekend since it looked as though it wouldn’t rain for a long enough period to make it a problem.. Turns out I was wrong, it did rain.. And of course, it only rained when I really didn’t need it to.. One side at a time…
MMXXIIII*
Four years ago, I wrote a Year in Review and, being of 2020, there was quite a lot to say about how the Year had been outside of the Garage. While a lot has happened outside of the Garage this year, I feel that 2024 has been much more about what has gone on inside…
Beast Restoration: Paint
Getting to this point, where the 4Runner was going to get Paint, was overwhelming relief; that I was going to do it myself was almost incredulous. However, removing the Door Handles was pretty much a commitment to painting the 4Runner without delay; I certainly couldn’t park it anywhere in public. I had a Garage ready…
Beast Restoration: Pre Paint
It has been nearly a Year since I collected the 4Runner from Somerset with those Blue Doors. A Year of staring at those Blue Doors, and a Year of not really knowing what was best when it came to Painting those Blue Doors. From the ridiculous to the sublime, quotes of £10,000 to £2000 to…
Hartech Oversized 996.2 Carrera
There are some Car Adverts that make you go and buy a Lotto Ticket. And not necessarily because you can’t afford the car, but because you want to make sure that you can cosset it in one of the Four Garages you’re going to have built next to the Manor House you buy with the…
