Bob—— you are fallible——- all of the cars are Ferrari’s——- ( unless somebody switched them when I wasn’t looking)Quote:

Will do some clearer piccies———- there’s some pretty smart turning and fernagling gone into that piece———— not everyday you get half a dozen barn find Ferrari’s hung from a skyhook!
Did have to make up a bigger base———- the whole thing had a habit of “TEETERING “ now it’s fine———- you could leave it out in “MICHAEL” and it would still be there after it went through.
You know what—— you have sown the seeds of doubt ! Now I’ll have to check it out—— but when I’m done I’ll give a shout—— to prove I’m not a twat ! BOOM BOOM——. It’s the way I tell ‘em???
I'll take a stab...Quote:

Now I am getting worried——- thought I checked everything before I mounted them——— could have sworn blind they were all Maranellos!

See what I Mean?—— all Burago models—- made in Italy——- Ferrari badges——v12 lumps—— authenticated up to the door handles—— I ask you ? What more can a lad do?——-
Im not hard to please——- a touch of the forelock will suffice—— or a large CC7 at Tavares!
With the aim of stretching this thread to a 1000 pages before the new year.........Sorry I mean HISTORIC ACCURACY the models (or toys whatever) are......Testa Rossa....Yellow F40 with it's back window shot out (drive by maybe?)....Red Cobra...LM in N.A.R.T. colours...348 in blue...250GTO.
Much I like GT 40's....there ain't one there.....
Ok Phill so it’s COBRARRI——- a very rare vehicle indeed——-
Morning all——- can’t stop—— I’m on a mission——- found a way to solve a problem——-need to get it done this morning before I forget how!
Meeting my sister down at the Chichester Yacht Club for lunch!
Its going to be a short day!
Had a problem with the Arneson——— dreamed up a solution and had to get on it before I forgot it.
Solved the problem—— then had to leave the shop to get to the Yacht Club in time for lunch!
Was a fair to middling lunch——- both my sisters were there which was a nice surprise.
Did manage a couple of hours in the shop——— volume of work is a bit overwhelming at the minute, need to get something finished and then stick to one job at a time
Made a mounted transom——— my version of a surface drive——- hoping to do the trim tabs with rams—— might be a tad ambitious—just have to see how the cookie crumbles.!
Whatdya know——— it’s bloody Thursday again!
Car boot and all that———- 6:30am and it’s still dark, but the clocks go back on Saturday——— winter is nigh!
See if I can do a progress piccie aforeclose of play !
Beavered away like a demented Gippetto———- really did bite off a shed load more than I can chew comfortably———— But, the upside is——- it’s looking the dogs cajones.
Blank day at the car boot sale——- not a sausage—— losing my touch!
Everyone’s gone to the moon———Nobody coming out to play——— you can only talk to yourself for so long, before the men in green come to take you away!
Made both trim tabs——— and the rams——— quite chuffed with myself——- life in the old dog yet——May have lost a few revs off’n the top end——- but there’s still a bit of grunt left —— given the gun!,,,,
Talked to Parkinson today——- Rick Mackie asked him for some facts about FONDA——- so Parky called me.
I got a dozen each of the FONDA news letters printed——- if anybody wants copies, ask me at Tavares—- when these are gone——— there will never be any more !
not heard that one before....Quote:

Coming to the end of another couple of projects——- it’s all looking good.
Be nice if I could wrap all the loose ends up before I leave For florida.
Been out to dinner with my next door neighbor—- went to the 47 Mussel Row in Littlehampton——- excellent meal——- I can recommend it to anyone. Bon Appetite!!!!
