Curry Sauce

Just a quickie on the panels I made - a bit of judicious reworking of the margin I had in the flanges resulted in both repair panels fitting perfectly.

I thought of taking a fibreglass cast of the bumper iron dimple and then inserting the actual cast into the repair panel with pop-rivets and extra fibreglass. The dimple doesn't actually bear any weight or stresses, except possibly in the fore and aft direction, through the circular hole in the instance of a shunt from behind, which is immaterial to the medium of the dimple itself.

I've also bought some burr drill bits for £8 on e-Bay and will attempt to fashion a former out of a couple of oak block cut-offs from the purloin beams I kept from the house build. Then it's a case of beating the shape into the panel over the oak former to transfer the information within the dimple.

There again, is the dimple even necessary? All it does in create a vertical surface in a curved panel. The necessity of this can only be determined by inspecting the bumper attachments.

To the subject:

Wherever you go in the UK, the curry sauce on chips from a chip shop tastes the same. This leads to the conclusion that there is a single curry sauce baron who supplies all chip shops with curry sauce.

The strange thing about chip shop curry sauce is that is has a taste you never find in an Indian or Pakistani restaurant - or, indeed, in restaurants in India. It's a uniquely British concoction and, like salad cream was Britain's answer to mayonnaise, chip shop curry sauce is Britain's answer to a Madras.

It is highly addictive though, so I presume there's some form of opium derivative used in its preparation. Could the Sackler family be behind it?

You have to admit, though, that it looks like shit.
