Sorry, I was thought it odd because to me that Alfa didn't look similar to a DB2/4 MkIII but then I know them rather well... Indeed that's my car biglaugh

p.s. Nice picture

Absolutely stunning build, So jealous in a nice way.

But I think that shingle leading to the build /garage would drive me nuts bits stuck in the tyres messing up the garage floor. Tarmac would never complement it but something would cobbles or maybe a resin surface.

Sure your gonna have fun with it.

Cheers.

Pat.

Arcade machine arrived today. 7000 games installed ranging from Arcade games such as Donkey Kong, Pacman, and Gorf through to multiple classic laser disc and console games. Absolutely super build quality too.



I haven't mentioned it in this thread but anyone considering a build like this don't under estimate the project management and managing neighbours (especially if you live in a small village). I'm absolutely knackered with it.

Whoah, it's 5 doors down and must have been the previous owners as that hasn't hapoened since I've been in the village and the new owners took over after I moved in.

Jim and Andy (2 brothers) who run it are top gents. Great pub, great food, great people.

Love this build, really enjoyed following its progress too. Only change I would make is a bit more workshop area, but I know you have explained why you haven't.
