Just a flying visit…
I'll be heading back to the dentist later today more root canal work.

I've also been very busy at work, as I'm reaching the closing stages of my current project.

But this does mean I will soon have a better idea of the time available for car work before the next project starts.

Car Noob - I must try harder to see this engine in action next time it is heading to London.

Jones - Thanks for the link.

Believe it, or not, but I actually read it last night and have just posted a reply on Car Photographer's thread.

In between the recent 'flaming' in the Tribute section there was also these useful painting tips.

So apart from using primer outside in less than ideal weather, leaving parts of my car in primer for years and planning to get it MOT'd like that, I should be fine.

Jokes aside, these days I'm very tempted to aim for a rough paint finish right from the start.

This month's 'Classic & Sports Car' features a 1937 Wolseley that is on the road in 'barn find' condition.
( Although I can't find a better photo of it on line. )



I also remember Mister Towed posting this photo from Goodwood.

And I've always said I'd like my car to be good enough for Goodwood.

Cheers, Paul.
