Had to work today...rare occurrence at weekends nowadays....but made excellent by taking the old girl the long way round....including what I fondly refer to as the 'Georges Lane Hill Climb' (Sladey will know it - on the way out of Calverton to Mapperley Top).....never fails to put a smile on my face when taken with a little 'commitment' on a quiet Sunday morning :)

Changed the standard back box to a sporty Dansk . Involved a lot of Dremiling of my lovely rear bumper to make room .

Then had a drive over to my mates tattoo shop where he's restoring a Henderson .
