Re: Spring Weekend 2024 - April 5th to 7th

Oh dear, I had hoped that the roads might have improved in the UK over the last 5 months since I've been in Australia but it seems it is not the case.
They were absolutely disgraceful when I left, so I can't begin to imagine how bad they are now :(
Sorry you had to endure them Kees.

Did you notice the "Honey, I shrunk the Fiat Seicento" in the background? A Trecento maybe...
Looks just like a full size Seicento to my eyes. 1998-2004 model.

Re: New toy, sorry tool

These look great! There are so many tools I've never seen or even heard of. I quite often see Steve Payne at his home and he loves showing his latest new tool or gadget, some are simply amazing. I really like the socket set he has, with a dial on the end of the shaft so when space is limited, instea...

Re: Building the Worlds Fastest Jensen

Regardless, if the C-V8 that Ian is working on hits the magical 200mph, it will officially be "The World's Fastest Jensen".
I wish Ian every success with his attempt(s).

Re: Jean Smith Funeral Arrangements

Thank you for sharing the deatils.
Sadly, with me being in Sydney until later in April, I won't be able to join you in person but my thoughts will be with you all.
I hope the day goes as well as possible.

Re: FF 078 project at CCA Auction

I guess things changed a lot since 2007 but you're right about a good solid car being worth it.
It's easy to spend a LOT of money on renovations, unless you're truly capable of, and prepared to do all (or most) of the work yourself.

Re: Jean Smith passed away last night

Like many others here, I am really upset to have heard this news. The welcome extended by both Jean and Alan Smith over many years, is one of the reasons I signed up to join the JOC in the first place. Jean supported the club throughout my membership and, well before I joined the club so she will be...
