Guys!
For about a week, maybe more, I will be away from my PC (and from civilization). There are not so much of my puzzles left, but if you will decide to have a go at them, please be patient to wait until I'm back and don't hesitate to remind me of them then.
Good luck to everyone!

Will be on holiday for a week. Sunburned I will reply on each of your posts when I'm back again.

Off to play with old motors at the VSCC's 75th anniversary celebrations for a week.
No puzzles outstanding, so it's more that I won't be guessing for that time.

On the road again today through Wednesday. My destination has free wireless, so I should be OK. However, if you don't hear from me for a few days, you'll know why.

I hope to have some interesting pics for you all, when I return.

Sometimes it happens...
I'll be far from a PC till the end of the week, so...
If you have some guesses, shoot them out today!

Well, guys, again I bring you my sincere apologies for going AWOL. I don't really have any excuses apart from the ones I've already posted - I haven't had any vacation at all this summer, and working through the week at hours when I'm normally sleeping takes its toll, so I haven't been able to find the time.

I'm sorry - but I can't guarantee it's not going to happen again. I won't be posting any new puzzles in the foreseeable future as I know I probably won't be able to maintain them, but I'll try to be a bit better at responding to guesses you guys make.

On another note, I've sold my old X1/9 - it failed its MOT this summer and although saw it coming, I was sad to realise I just couldn't fix it myself and didn't think it was worth it to let a garage do the job. Sooner or later I'm hoping to replace it with a Grinnall Scorpion III, if I can get it on the road in Norway, but for now it's just me and the Alfa.

And now, on to responding to my old posts :)

Hi all, I'm going to be on and off for the next few weeks. I'm going on holiday tomorrow for a week so I won't be online after today until next thursday. Then the saturday of that week (12th) I'm going back to uni and since I'm moving into a new place I don't know how long it will be until my internet is sorted and I'm back online. If all goes well it will only be a day or two but might be longer. I've only got a few puzzles left and almost all are old so it shouldn't be a problem but if anyone does venture a guess please be patient and I'll answer when I can.

Dear fellow AutoPuzzlers.  Sadly I suffered a very unexpected bereavement earlier this week with the passing of my mother, so please bare with me for a while as I won't be spending much time on the website.  I will also be preparing for the Goodwood Revival and then taking a break, so realistically not much AutoPuzzle correspondance from me until early October.  Thank you all for your undestanding.

Going to be away for one week, without internet access or time to visit Autopuzzles. So, see you next week, guys.
Pros are welcome to try solving my old puzzles, in the meantime.
