Bit of this going on of late so I thought I'd join in!



Cars been away for 2 weeks having a car-park related front end scratch repaired, but within 10 mins was back on the axle-stands with the rear dampers removed. Ahh the joys of owning a Noble! They've been taken to Black Art Design Suspension for re-furbing as n/side was weeping a tad, but hopefully will be back within a week. Then with a little help from a friend, the new grooved discs will be going on along with a new set of RS29s and some brand new boots. By which time I bet it'll be chucking it down and we'll be back to winter weeping

Will let know re shocks, but they design and make dampers for a wide range of race oriented vehicles, so should be more than qualified to co-condition a set.
Slats in wheel arch are there to help create better air flow through the oil-cooler.

Maybe its:

1. The steep downward angle of the car disappearing into the steep upward angle on the rear clam providing a visual allegory of wave formation strengthened by the juxtaposition of the wave-board above it

or

2. the subtly erotic connotation of the mattress and the mistress.....

or

3. I picked up my battered old Canon Ixus and went snap.

Answers on a post-card.hehe

Well, art must not have a purpose, what is art after all?
