About Bertie

Bertie is a 1996 Fairway Taxi who was in service in London for 15 years. He moved to Essex for 3 years, and then sat for a couple of months before we found him and brought him to Lincolnshire. This is his continuing story.

And headlining tonight…...

I was getting a bit fed up of the headlining in the driver cab to be honest. It was flapping about a fair bit, and having thought through a few options decided to buy some thin oilcloth. I did start using silicon sealant as adhesive, on the basis that it's easier to detach than no-nails in the future, but after a few 'sealant in the hair' incidents, I resorted to my trusty DeWalt heavy duty stapler. A few 12mm staples, and a bit of stretching, and here it is. Not perfect, but if you'd see the 'before' picture! The oilcloth was £12.50 from 'Only Oilcloth' online. Bargain!
