<p class="MsoNormal">As the second owner of the Beady Eye trailer, at Bill’s encouragement, I had intended to repaint it and make it my own. In the end, I couldn’t do it. Too much of a time capsule. And everywhere I went, hauling my Spitfire around, people
stopped by and asked when the wine and cheese were coming out. I ended up stocking some most weekends :-)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I left the autographed poster and the 8-track deck with the showtunes tapes and a bunch of other stuff in the trailer when David took it over. That stuff belonged in the trailer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was in my care for 4 years, I think – 2014-2018? But, by then, SWMBO was agitating for a trailer with a bathroom and shower and fridge and whatnot. Didn’t seem right to be hauling my Spec Racer Ford around in it anyway…<o:p></o:p></p>
