Great to see this Jim! The pavement has some character now.

New Carrier
My driveway tar is scrapped a little bit by my track marks and i am very proud of it.
It goes away pretty fast so i have to make new track marks ever so often ... Great job Jim.

As you say Jim, the coating scrapes off the stone tops,
and is quickly re-coated by traffic.
I had the museum carrier at home 2 years ago, and can still see track marks on the concrete surface of the driveway where I reversed up to the shed! No skid turns or anything! I think the lack of traffic is the key element (1 to 2 cars per day versus hundreds or more per day on a public road) Point of all this? be wary driving over ornamental surfaces that don't carry traffic. Concrete or clay pavers are easily chipped on their edges by the tracks. I have chipped kerbs too, climbing over the edge, and they stay visible for a long time! If it rains while you are parked, it can quickly rust stain the concrete as well. At the end of the day, just enjoy the moment!  Rob

Value the road
Reciently had my driveways re-bitumened after constant Carrier and other heavy Green machine traffic. I now back out of the shed, straight out to the road before commencing any turns- while the odd turn does not damage the surface, multiple trips every week-end over several years does do damage. just ask my wife....Suggestion-Drive straight to the street, and let the Council look after it! Street's better for high speed run's anyway!
Now I may got a little carried away one ANZAC day following the rule above, local law enforcement (and local carrier owner luckily) gave me a big smile & a stern pointing/waving of the finger- thanks Darren..I PROMISE I won't do it again.....

Well I got to pop up to Jim's warehouse of Brit vehicles the other week and got to do some work on the carrier with him, we replaced some of the straps, fitted the battery box in, did some touch up painting, added some bits and bobs, still have the rear T number to put on and some minor work to do. Got to look at the Morris, and play with the carrier.
