Merry Christmas everyone

It's time for me to wish you all a


I presume that you've already received a Nice List Certificate similar to mine:



I hope that Santa also brings you everything that you've asked for. 

I didn't want to be too greedy this year, so I've just asked him for the one present, but I'm not sure how he's going to manage to get my Tesla down from the top of the roof on his own.

Hi guys, I hope you got some rest this christmas, I didnt... Now with two kids!

Happy new year!

Here is my mud plugger for the welsh hill sides....

Happy New Year to you too Andrew,

It's good to hear that Josie now has a younger sibling to play with, but I'm sure a doll or teddy bear would have been a much cheaper option. 

I expect you now have a setup similar to this for road use:



Did you ever manage to persuade Sarah back onto an ebike again?

Your mud plugger certainly looks like a fun bike to ride, and those tyres look like they should provide plenty of grip for off road use, but how well do they work in the snow?

Hi Alan,
Yep I have a bike trailer but it looks like I will now need a double seater . Josie will be 5 this week, and her brother Roo has just turned 1.   These days Sarah tends to pedal or scoot along with Josie, with me trailing behind pushing a pram.
The mudplugger has been an ongoing build/project for the past two years and is a ride anywhere bike, (well anywhere there isnt people or police!)  I havent tried it in snow as yet by the controller does have traction control so it should be quite stable.  The only penalty to so much fun is weight. It currently weighs about 53kg, with a plan to build a new and lighter battery pack over the next few weeks.
I do keep an eye on this forum(never forgetting my roots) and would like ro post up some photos of my battery build, with maybe some input from yourself and others on here.
Btw, I still have  my Magic Pie and a GM kit that was on Sarahs bike. Maybe used for Josies first ebike?
