Seeing you squeezed in there would be worth keeping it stock for the comedy factor alone, however for commuting duties it would be a little dangerous if not mildly uncomfortable I'd imagine... A plan for the Saturday at Goodwood next year is forming...  |

I am glad it's done. I am proud to have been a part of it. I have more drawings of parts in it,that probably any body else on the planet. And yet ,after the thousands of hours spent on it, I will probably remember it for the simplest of simple parts  The cap on a emergency petrol can. Gave me a fizzy feeling looking at it after I made it..😁 One of those,"Damn I am good " moments, that don't happen very often 😊 |
