Aaron.....you look the spitting image of a nightclub bouncer I used to know. Rarely saw him without blood on his shirt.

In contrast.. I don't think I've ever been in a fight!

Took a little time last night to put the passenger seat in (sat that side, too, but I didn't make any brum noises this time) and wiper arms & blades on (which still need a little 'adjusting' to park parallel to the bottom of the screen).

Washer bottle to stow somewhere, next, and wiring loom to connect it all up. A set of roll hoops arrived today, and the heater is coming soon.. now if only the engine builder would reply to me.

As a kid I wanted to own Cobra GTM 777F. Still do.

Here's a little bit of nostalgia for you, then, involving that very car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaGb7N7Yx3I

The car was from 1965. The 'F' plate in the British registration from 1967/8......presumably when it was converted to RHD.

Valuation?.......probably even more than you could afford.

Yeah, I did chuckle at the "£150 to £200,000" valuation - I saw a genuine 427 for sale at Goodwood for $1.7m..

So GTM 777F would be 'affordable' for you then.

Practically loose change, really..

[tunnie]

Ordered a pair of Eicher front brake discs and pads for the 3.2, for £49.48.

Can't grumble at that price, from TheBoy's favourite supplier

I love the yellow 427 that used to race at goodwood. Run by team Hairy Canary iirc. 

If I ever did a new kit, I’d go yellow with black stripes and Halibrands

they'll be fake. So you'll actually receive a plastic gnome, two chocolate teapots and a goldfish

Had a quick glance at my new (old) car on the driveway. cheers James.

Choccie teapot would go down well with my morning coffee

I think that one was my favourite, too - always going around Lavant with one rear wheel in the air 

[Chazza12]

changed the hydraulic cam lifters, 8 out of 16 damaged springs in them inlet and exhaust. so 16 new one fitted. sounds nice now.

Doesn't matter with tunnie. In fact I'm surprised he needs new ones, unless they have rusted away through non-use.

As for my favourite supplier, 50% success rate this week.  The pollen filter was 2nd hand, but the rear wiper fitted fine .  Doesn't actually wipe the glass, but that's not ECP or Vistapros fault
