I'm keeping those pictures of Ben's place on file. Good ammunition.

When I next get tackled about keeping Fuchs wheels in the bath I'm going to produce them as evidence that it's normal practice for car blokes to keep Porsche stuff in convenient places. I knew it was normal. Now I have the proof.

Regards
Mike

…I wonder if my wife will be as understanding when I tell her I want to buy his High Butterflies, his Racing Oil Filter, his Magneti Marelli twin spark dizzy as well as a bunch of other items! :?

Seriously cool stuff! 8)

Late Friday night update from Barry…..straight from the pub after a few sherbets (me!) so few words…..

….I asked Barry if he could do something with my crusty old doors….maybe cut out the inner frames, 'R' style…lose some weight?….he said he'd have a go…..
