Dag Nammit ! !

How the heck do I always manage to miss Avons at shows ! ! ?

I must have gone past the Tiger stand a dozen times and never noticed your car. It was all Cat E1's, and the ones with funny rear mudguards. Mooched around with a whinging girlfriend in the very changeable weather, bought a few bits and bobs and went home.

Nice car, I wish I'd seen it in the flesh though.

Otherwise there was a lot of dross at the show IMHO. I dont know why some people bother.

Pete Coddy aka the Highgrove Howler. Don't think he's on this site.

Car was moved at one point for Filby (Which Tiger mag) to photgraph it!

Here's some more.

Good looking car, wish i was there to see it now....

I am intending to start off in Black gel coat and then spray it 'cadburys purple' at a later date.... - guess he beat me to it

Intrigued by the aero screens - can these be sva compliant or are they a post sva add on do you think ?

Also the silencer is an interesting alternative to Tigers tin can effect....

Very well finished, wish I'd seen it,

Is the gearstick long enough though ?!

Sorry, couldnt resist.

i can see a few finishing touches i like . think i may need to sound out the boss(the misses) and see what she thinks .(then pinch them anyway!) i like the way he has finished off the rear cover and the rear light surrounds etc

I agree very well finished off . I also like the paint on the wheels.

You can see on the photos though that the tyres on the nearside are well within the confines of the arch but on the off side its marginal.
