Yup, still here!! REALLY warm here, shirts off all day, 16 degrees. Although I am here under duress, because it is work related. Here for a week. Fitting an engine in a yacht, except its stuck in customs!! Ho ho. Lots of other work to do, plus the beer is really, no I mean REALLY cheap! Hic

I thought those yacht things had sails? What do they need an engine for? Or are you sticking a V8 in it? Enjoy the beer and the sun, -9 here (it feels like it).

Any guesses? No prizes I'm afraid
No, not a clue! The peice nearest the camera has some interesting shapes going on, cant place it though. I guess that I will just have to come along to the show and take a look.

Body kit for a Camaro...?
Yes of course Yachts have engines. The wind never blows from where you want, or its nit enough to get you there before the restaurant shuts. That's why most salirs use the 'Solent rig' ie, main up and sheeted in, engine on. Its sort of a cross between pretending to sail and being in denial!

That first mould looks like some sort of mid engine thing??

The front bumper with the two big vents or spot holes is confusing me, so can't be a dino, how about a Tribute Moon buggy, sort of Mars MGRover?

Not sure what Chris is up to but found this on ebay.

And this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-MX-5...item460e4dd1ad
Plenty of scope.

Bumper with lights set in Ford RS 2000? great idea.
