Hi Ringo!
A sense of humour is essential as they used to say in the military!
Mine is a very good guide to me, as when it disapears, it indicates I am incredibly exhausted or very very ill, but it's never absent for long!
like most people I have a garage, but it's full of shite, bikes, weight training kit, freezes, spin driers and tools. I try to keep a small passage way open so I can get from one end to the other!
To think when I first moved in I parked my car in it!
My Spitfire donar cost about 11 or 1200 quid to buy, but having stripped off all the bits I did not need and flogged them on ebay, I eventually got the Spitfire cost down to about 700 quid.
Mr Towed flogged his stuff off and actually made a bloody profit!
Spifires command higher prices I think than Triumph Heralds and Vitesses.
Lot of people like Mr Towed, go for the Vitesses, as some of them come with the 2 litre 6 cylinder engine which is a very nice well balanced lump
I do have a passion for recycling, but a lot of my recycling is done rather that get "ripped off" if you see what I mean.
An XKSS lighting set is £1000. I mean, that's taking the piss.
I used the Spitfire headlights and modded Morris minor rear lights at about £30. Where the f*ck does the other 900- quid come from??
Keep me posted on your build, by the way where are you based?
Scottie
