A great turn out again and the weather was ace, I don't think I've seen so many GTRs in one place before. biggrin

Glad the weather permitted the first St Neots showing of the Mustang Colin, that's a fab motor and great follow on from the 'vette. Looks a lot better on the road than it did on the grass at St Marys. Rims are HUGE! I knew that'd be the car, thought I'd better keep quiet though. So glad it came your way and you finally got the one you wanted.
Great to meet the lovely Jan too. thumbup
Good to see you again Mark, as you can tell I'm very happy with the car but there is still some work to do.

I'm sure that over time, you'll work through it to give it that personal touch & get it just how you like it.
These things are never instant and quality can't be rushed.
I look forward to see it progressing and gracing St Neots once again when the better weather comes.
Enjoy! driving


(PS - I still can't get over those rims thumbup)

After the Feb meet does anyone fancy driving up to the graffiti bridge in Eaton Socon for some snap shots?

Thread here if anyone hasn't seen before.

Sounds like a plan. Are the walls finished now or still a 'work in progress'?

Well its a legal graffiti wall, so it could literally change overnight... I knew a few talented graffiti artists at uni and you can spend weeks going out to the same place at godforsaken hours doing your piece and then go another night for it to be a blank wall again, with someone elses line work on it. Its just part of it. They said its worse when someone just tags it with a cock or something.

I'm away now until Sunday. If I get a chance I'll go up and post some pictures up of the current work.

Hi Ambleton, I'm aware it's a legal wall but was posting regarding the most recent comments in the above linked "graff wall" thread which implies there's some work currently being carried out.
I was quite into the scene in Brum, know artists and put some funds into the first "City of Colours" event in 2014. Luckily many pieces seem to stay unmolested round Digbeth/Custard Factory area. Love the scene up there and have attended both City of Colours Festivals and Winter Jam. Like Upfest at Bristol too and also frequent Brick Lane/Shoreditch taking in the new art. Much prefer proper graff over Banksy junk.
...A little bit of Brum artist 'Hoakser'

I'm in Digbeth right now coincidentally. Love the pieces around the Custard Factory.

This was one of my favourites a few years back

I watched Jimmy C paint that and then in 2016 Nathan (N4T4) painted the same spot.



With amazing Dank & Inkie pieces close by too, it's a great spot. So close to the Bullring but missed by so many...
