Holy Shmoly that's deffo the dogs dangily bits!

My compliments to Mrs. Torches patience , if you could pass that along...
I know how long I'd take to do that ... (especially if the wife was minding the kids!!)


One thing though ... You're going to find it difficult to get rid of the green paint on the seats

.. Sorry , Pony , couldn't resist ... Like I can talk with my 'Barf Brown' interior....

She appreciates your comments. You're meant to be supporting me!

Kids were in bed, and I was out the way, what more does she want?

Yes, I now know how selfish that was of me, and how lucky I am to be going to Le Mans. Boy, am I gonna pay when I get back.

Don't know. Think because the cars resemble / resembled road cars, unlike the single seaters.

The finished article those interested.

People 'my age' seem to appreciate the Martini stripes, and that it's just for a laugh. When I was a kid this is (very roughly) what racing Porsches looked like.

Young kids love it and shout and wave.

However the majority of people say "You've ruined that car".

Good view from the top though. Not willing to accept it just yet, but it's good enough to appear in one of my photos.
