Top quality so far today. Phil and Matt, thank you. Keep 'em coming.

Good job the suspension's firm.

Oooh, that makes me wince! The Vantage front splitter has some badly positioned bolts which can pop through the carbon if it takes a hit underneath. That parking is far too close for comfort!

 

[Wanderer]

This is a good one, just had my defibrillator replaced yesterday afternoon, ouch!

 

[CatmanV2]

Better than the alternative, I suspect, Wanderer!

Yes, it made me wince. Isn't actually touching thankfully. I've already replaced it once.

Who likes these wheels? (And the 'trolley' sign is quite apposite IMHO.)

 

[MarkMas]

...and who likes this bodywork?

Collected the Fizzy tinwork from paint today!

Chuffed with the result is an understatement.

Look nice, when is it due to be finished?

 

[CatmanV2]

Very brave colour!

Period I believe. There was an equally putrid gold, blue, dark red and a green from memory.

I've having issues with this big/near, small/far theory of Zep's

I suppose it went with the loon pants which Newton undoubtedly wore

That issue is disturbing given your role!

Almost right there, the year before was metallic dark brown, the year after was the metallic Gold, you had to wait a few years for the red and green.

The bike is restored and just needs the tin work to complete it. My brother did a post office tax yesterday and they charged him £16 but accepted that it was a historic vehicle that didn’t need an MOT! Go figure. I guess he’ll get a refund from DVLA eventually. To be fair the logbook I sent him up was one of the pale blue single sheet ones, we did move here 30 years ago.

Staying with the bike theme, I finally got around to finishing my wee RVF400 that I took apart eleven years ago. I forgot how well they perform.

Always wanted o e of them, but 2 minutes sat on one told me otherwise!!

Staying with the bike theme (again), definitely a case of "wish I was there"
