Auction houses are in a different world to the one I reside in——— values don’t exist—- you want it ——- just dig deeper———- no such thing as a limit ! And as for common sense——- there is no such thing!

Next conceept—— about 100’ High with six Porches hanging from a single post, bit of fantastic engineering and spectacular with it !
Will need a bit of artists licence to make a decent concept—— but I’m full of confidence and hope and bullish-t.

Just what I needed Bob———- damn thing is stunning in real life———been thinking about what what size Bar ? Round? Rectanglular? Whatever. There will be a hell of a lot of handwork to get it looking anything half decent———— and the Anchorage is a bit Awesome.
Overall result will need to be “SPECTACULAR” .

I thought you lived in France?

I thought you lived in France?

Yeah, but so did fifty million Frenchmen——— France/ England, it’s an unholy alliance——— bit like wives——— can’t live without ‘em, but you can’t live wth’em !
Wimbledon is over and done with——— World Cup is finished——— F1 gets a three week break——— kids over here start they’re six weeks holiday, so alls we’ll with the world !
I got to spend most of the morning working on the Goodwood Porche Centrepiece——- packed it in when I had a bit of a disaster with the bandsaw———- decided to leave well alone until tomorrow.!

Sweden’s answer to the all electric Tesla——— POLESTAR———- 600 horsepower motor ——— Will be made in China———— Arab financing———of course there’s the small matter of £130,000 as an estimate———— Guess there can’t be a lot of pedigree to brag about——- was told by a very nice chap on the stand ——— they were going for Tesla’s jugular ?
Asked him a few simple questions like, how far does it go before running out of steam———- how long does it take to charge——- how much does the gas tank hold——- all basic stuff ! His answer was classic—- I’m not aux faix with the mechanical side of things——— I’m in sales.

Even Lambo’s are churning out bog standard SUV’s———- no way would I swop my Lexus F Sport Hybrid for one these———- mines got Panache, Class, history and prestige————— Lambo is just a tad “Vulgar” ?

They may not have to go for Tesla's jugular. Tesla may self destruct on it's own. There have been several cases lately of the Teslas catching on fire for no apparent reason and then there is the flawed auto-pilot system that has ended in quite a few crashes.




A Tesla Model S travelling at 65 mph in autopilot mode has crashed into a parked fire truck on a California freeway, prompting safety concerns surrounding the electric car maker’s self-driving technology.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the accident, which took place on Monday, January 22, on Interstate 405.
The fire truck had been parked with its light flashing in the emergency lane and carpool lane at the scene of a previous accident, according to Culver City Fire Department.





Police say a Tesla was in Autopilot mode when it hit a police vehicle in Laguna Beach, Calif., on Tuesday, May 29, 2018.

Now, Those are some bloody expensive prangs———- insurance companies tend to “write off” anything these days——— even if a seagull dropped last nights dinner on the roof———— think they call it a HEAVY LANDING.

Beavered away like a demented Gipetto all day———- got a head full of crazy ideas, course, i realise I’ve bitten off a hell of a lot more than I can chew————- who in their right mind would take on the million dollar Sculpture that just happened to be outside Goodwood House during the three day festival of speed.
Yup ! You guessed it———- that stupid old bastard who plays silly buggers in The workshop———- him who tries to keep the Arthritis at bay and the little grey cells ticking over———- must be daft as a brush——— or crazy as a loon!
Rich, I got good news for you———— if you ever thought I overcharged you for the Silver Ghost——— Just send it to BONHAMS.
I guarantee you will make ten times what you paid for it———— some of the “CONCEPTS” they sold were OK but nothing I couldn’t do over the weekend !

No sign of a break in the Weather———— 90 degrees again forecast for the next ten days——- best summer we ever had.
Hose pipe ban expected any time——— won’t affect me , but it will piss her indoors right off !
Ten thousand quids worth of plants need water, or they wither and die——— I just don’t want to be around when that happens.
i have to take Lizzie to play school today, and stay with her for a couple of hours——— that should be fun !
After that , it’s back in the shop to continue the Porky Concept !
