That was FUN! Great to see Kenny & Robert, cheers for the beer Kenny's 3.0 really is as low as a snake's belly. It took him rather longer than me to get across that car park, I can tell you :lol: Hell of a presence on the road, I really like how consistently dark it is. Robert's Smoke-Silver 2.3-16 has blossomed into a beautiful swan, the refreshed & polished paint and new wheels/tyres set it off perfectly. Never really paid attention to tyre designs before, but those Contis are handsome. Amazing end to what started out as a slightly dull day. Really nice pub with gigantic beer garden, and a wonderfully huge car park with a nice 'bright' floor... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The car park isnt owned by the pub so I figured we would be safe. |

Looks like a good, if small gtg ! I was hoping to make it myself, but for boring domestic reasons was unable to do so. Next time for sure. ps, does this mean somebody owes me a beer ?

Ooh! I think I need to see it next in the metal. It's eye-catching and not unattractive in the pics. Withholding judgement for the moment. Are you going to stick with it, Neil? |

Not necessarily, I want a good standard original to keep with the car. If I sold the car, it wuold be with a standard grille, and i'd keep this smoothed painted frame. One of those 'spares' that's nice to have lying around, like an alternative set of wheels or lights I suppose. |

I'd agree with that. There's something really 'pure'-looking about Smoke & Astral Silver valvers - I thought this when Robin's 2.5-16 passed me the other week, and tbh Michael's 2.5 has been a fave of mine for ages. |

Thank you very much! Tbh, I wasn't sure about the colour when I bought it but I rather like it now; the ride quality is marvellous with the Evo1 wheels (or perhaps it's the tyres) and once I've sorted out a few tiny rust issues (the usual places) and plugged the air leak then I'll be happy with it. I can visualise keeping it until the petrol runs out... |
