Re: Festival of the Unexceptional

Not this year mate. We've agreed to do the mopar nats at the pod this year... thinking about dipping my toe into the American scene... fancy something like a 70/71/72 Dart Swinger or a second gen Barracuda?

Re: Sad times

Good idea Chris - and one I considered.. ;) I need as many cars going straight away as I can manage - because another 3 or 4 must be sold. That will free me up to get the red van moving - and it will get a carefully sorted 2 litre O series. While the autos seem to be able to handle any amount of ho...

Re: Original colour

Re: front wings

Normally I'm not a fan in that it'll not do your residual values any favours.

Re: NEC SHOW 2013.

It's good to see Marina's realising proper money now, eh?
Helps to protect what's left. :thumbup:

Wish I could get down to the NEC this weekend and put some faces to names. I totally forgot it was on this weekend and I've organised other stuff. :-?
