The inserts are Koni. I am trying to build it with no upgrades whatsoever. Any exceptions will be if something isn't available.

Re: "Le Belgique" ST build.
Dave, I have had a very irate person call me this morning saying I am "egging you on". I refer to Garry Gatwick of Gary Gatwick Genuinely Good Garage. Formerly know as the artist Garry Hall of Classic FX. Can you please stop refering to Garry as Garry Gatwick on a public forum as I get the blame? Alternatively please make it quite clear that by refering to Garry Gatwick that I have not influenced you in any way. Thanks

Ah yes, Garry Gatwick. Very reasonable rates for transportation from Classic FX, I hear.
Genuinely quite a good garage.

Re: "Le Belgique" ST build.
GGGGG brand awareness is on the up. I'm sure the proprietor will be overjoyed.

Re: "Le Belgique" ST build.
Isn't this brand awareness down to that journalist blokey..!
Might get as big as that Magnus bloke one day... oh, his hair's the wrong colour.

Does this "quite good" mean the garage rating has been reduced from " genuinely good"?inaglasshouse wrote:Ah yes, Garry Gatwick. Very reasonable rates for transportation from Classic FX, I hear.

Re: "Le Belgique" ST build.
Andrew Frankle the journalist said "Garry near Gatwick". I am claiming credit for the GGGGG brand and may demand a marketing fee.stretch wrote:Isn't this brand awareness down to that journalist blokey..!

On the hair front I think Dave that the colour is not the issue.

It wouldn't let me click on the image tag which used to highlight "copy." I right clicked and pasted it instead.
Just checked again and the highlighted image tag is back on.... strange.

Not me you pair of old blind git's.
A little more progress. Car has actually moved on from these pictures and we now have it on a set of pram wheels.
Little and often.
