Currently my limbs ache and my knees are about to give out on me .


However and it,s a big however the car is looking mint.

I doubt i will be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning and ive still got the alloys to do .

The car will be in exceptional company as some really well looked after club members cars will be there .

The club are now being well represented at these meets and attract a lot of interest.

Future Classics ????

Oh yes ..
Just rest tonight George, and have a few tipples of your favourite potion, sounds like you deserve it with all that work that you have done

I have been doing mine as well, and seem to have polished off half the paint

See you next week

Good morning George, not too long now before your break at The Cottage at the sea-side and if you fancy something further afield, a safari with something tropical, you are more than welcome to come out for a holiday in East Africa

Thats a lovely offer Phil.

However i am now a confirmed homebird.

Whilst i have,nt been everywhere in my life ive been to some far flung places.

This might sound paranoid but the thought of air travel these days seems just not worth the effort.

Rather than that i like to see my own country in the 75 and stay in nice wee out of the way cottages...

Anyway there are so many Africans in Glasgow these days its a bit like Africa has come to me .
