babs having her new sidecar sub-frame installed
 

The 'shop' goea all the way back to last week..
 

Me doing the tool roll back up
 

Yes, that bike is upside down as it's a UK model and the sidecar is on the 'wrong' side!
All the boxes in the background have a new Ural outfit in them.
 

Putting the Mitas tyres on for a smoother run home
 

this tyre did 21,000kms!
 

since I lost weight I'm not such a good 'bead breaker'!
 

A few more outfits were on display that evening
 

Us contaminating the Best Western Hotel in Weingarten
 

A full sized replica of a bedroom on the Zeppelin LZ129 Hindenburg. Everything is made fom aluminium and rivetted as they couldn't weld the stuff in the 30's. The washbasin is retracted on the left as is the writing table above the stool.
 

top bunk down, washbasin down, table down but ladder up!
 

the, Bauhaus influenced, lounge
 

The Maybach Zeppelin engine that could only deliver maximum power above 1,800 metres. The gondola in front was completely intact when it was rescued from the breakers but after 30+ years in a farmyard it had eroded just a bit!
 

All the chassis work was made using the original tools and the blue paint changes colour at extreme temperatures. Therefore most people that own a fragment of the Hindenburg believe it was green.
 

The Maybach Zeppelin 8ltr, 3.5tonnes car. 175kph! Driver was on the right (as per the UK0 as it was quicker for him to get out and open the door for the passenger/s in the back.
 

The original construction was extremely light. However, the 2000 carbon triangular section to the right weighed just about nothing!
 

On the A4 near Metz, Germany. I managed to get past Richard during a lapse in his concentration. :-)
 

Me arriving home at last. Richard went ahead near Honiton so they were expecting me.
