Can you at least confirm your car has been ‘indoors’ during the recent run of biblical rain.

Jokes aside, I hope all is well.

Cheers, Paul.
Thanks for asking, Paul.

As we all know, everything takes ten times longer than planned. The car build will resume imminently. The next step is electricity in the garage which should be complete in a couple of weeks. Oh, and to paint the doors a 1950s green (if such a colour exists...and possibly referred to as "Sage" by those who see in more than eight colours). It will be quite a contrast to the leaky shed in the woods in which the build started.


I did accidentally acquire this recently. Thankfully, it has been restored and the chap was almost giving it away. So, the only time it takes up will be on the estuary on a Friday evening with a cold beer.


My new plan is to have the "moon buggy" running faultlessly by March 2020 and then a summer of body work. Sounds realistic...at the moment.
