Well this is is, today I started the final polish of the Porker getting it ready for sale  a coat a wax tomorrow then on to the interior, all went well until it came to the time to remove the PH smileys which somehow seemed to make it all very final.... lets hope it's the right decision will have owned it 10 years next year that's longer than I've owned been married to my wife.... Still debating whether to go for a last hoon or not, just tempting fate possibly???   PS garage is a mess as still got lots of building work going on.

The MG is currently sat on the drive under a cover awaiting my attention, just going to try and put an MOT on it and then knock it on asap, it will hopefully bump up the car building fund a little further. On a side note have you noticed the building works going on round my Grandads?? My Dad ended up buying the house and hopes to be moving around Christmas. Cheers Paul

I'm many years from a hill climb but I have found that the GT40 enthusiasts club meet at Meon Hut every month, may well be growing a beard and heading along soon
