GoogleEarth Photobomb
 

So there I was, idly mooching around on Google Maps / StreetView last night checking some directions when I decided to look up the Shrine in Hurst Moreton.
Much to my surprise, when should the Google Spy have been past there but last July. And what should have been outside but Z300S #4 (mine).
What are the chances?

By George, he's done it !!!
 

Applied the latest try-out stripes yesterday, now 6" stripes with a 6" spacing and I think I've got the look I want...

More in the effect than the execution (looks better at a distance!) but I'm really pleased- it seems to transform the appearance of the rear of the car more so than the front.

Looking forward to seeing it a Stoneleigh

The guy with the digger had finished but the graffiti "artists" hadn't...

On the hottest day of the year
 

I've been splattering on the filler and sanding it away around the shut lines on each side of the bonnet.

As today was a bit hot to work outside I decided to let the Z300S do what it does best- drive.

And took some record shots to show how it is currently.

Ian ive pm'd you

Mark asked me about the boot lock I used...

I used a "Hex Nut 21mm Male Thread Mounted Security Panel Lock for Drawer Cabinet" off eBay. Its disadvantage is that there is no hole cover so it freezes in winter.
However I've seen this "Hex Nut 19mm Male Thread Mounted Security Panel Lock for Drawer Cabinet" eBay item number: 361306801688 which has a cover.

Historic Specials Day 2015 - Sunday August 9th

Some of the marques that have been to previous shows include: TWM, Turner, Fairthorpe, Elva, Lotus, Ginetta, Lola, Martin, Rochdale, Siva, and Dellow.

The event is held at The Cotswold Wildlife Park, Burford, Oxon, England.

This is where the kit car movement came from- always some great (re)creations. Hoping for a good day- last year's was a bit of a washout!!!

Yes, I know it would have been hand-written and that there wouldn't be a letter prefix but hey...

That's nice. I've gone for '62

'59 was the first one I found

Not sure I will bother printing it though unless I find a period looking disc holder

Out and about
 

My out and about pic from yesterday- at the Historic Specials Day organised by the Fairthorpe Sports Car Club at Cotswold Wildlife Park near Burford, Oxon. Nice weather this year so about 40 cars there.

Admission is free for the driver and the rest of the park is accessible so we took the opportunity to look at the animals including their new baby white rhino born in March called - Ian !!!

TBH- he's looking a bit peed off at not being able to play with the dumper truck and cement mixer.

Anonymity
 

Tried to remove more signs of the car's origins by scratching the BMW badges off the windows. The paint came off OK but the marks are etched into the glass.

Grindstone in a Dremel next?

Is covering them over with Barchetta stickers not possible Ian?

Circuit of Wales

Circuit of Wales plans at Ebbw Vale move a step closer

29 minutes ago
From the section Wales

A hotel and motor industries centre are part of the development

Plans for a £325m motor racing track in Blaenau Gwent have moved a step forward.

The Welsh government said it was "minded to grant" an application to allow the firm behind the plans to take over common land for the Circuit of Wales in Ebbw Vale.

It said outstanding issues with the rights of commoners must be resolved before a formal decision was made.

The Heads of the Valleys Development Company welcomed the move.

Good suggestion Scottie. The markings are very small; about 5mm diameter. Don't wish to draw attention to them !!!

He he that's my car in the garage front under the car port area. In the google earth pics.

could you use some glass etch paste to change them (maybe with another name?) much like tattoo 'victims' change their tattoos when loved ones change?

I know someone who didn't bother. Just married another girl with the same name.
