Re: die Ratte
Monday night and all I have is a 356 sized space in my garage...

Rang Paul, pretty much everything done apart from a clutch judder in reverse and some niggling electrical problems
So she is at the auto electricians.
Paul hopes to collect tomorrow morning sort out the last tiny details and deliver to me on Wednesday
We leave for the road tripmThursday evening for the Night crossing from Harwich
Cutting it fine...

Re: die Ratte
Like Bootsy I'm not really a fan of the rat look but this has something about it beyond the "couldn't be arsed so waxed the rust and hoovered it" look. I think its great and is sure to be a hit with those in the know and those who don't ...well who gives a stuff!!

die Ratte

Spotted The Rat earlier.... looks so cool in the flesh. Loads more photos but having technical issues this evening. Maybe I'll have time to sort it out on the ferry tomorrow.
