It all looks very smart indeed.Uploading seems to be catching on and there are obviously lots of visits but not many comments on the cars featured!!
Any reason?

I think it looks fantastic, smart and well done, and I shall be tapping on Davie's shoulder to ask for more advice on this when I get the other 1001 things to done on the "Duchess" I also sat down today and read again Davie's article in the last issue of "Take 5" and found it to be well written and very interesting indeed.

In the article I mentioned my good friend Bill Davidson who, although very Ill with cancer stiill came down to do work on the car and managed to stop me doing many stupid things to Molly.Unfortunately Bill passed away on 31st Dec.
I will really miss him.He was a mechanics,mechanic and knew every nut and bolt of not just my classic but many others.He used to travel all round the country managing to get HGV.s going that had broken down using methods that most mechanics would never have thought off !

Sorry to hear about Bill. He sounded like a really decent guy who had the uncanny knack of making the difficult seem simple. GlennR

Thats what It looks like.It's actually an old garage which I think used to be for working on cattle trucks.Now there's my car,a Rolls Royce a couple of Alfa Romeos, a porche and about a dozen other cars that use It for day to day storage.My bay has It's own power and there are overhead lights and water.It seems well ventilated and the car sits on an old piece of carpet to stop condensation rising from the ground up(some people don't think this Is a good Idea but I've seen a difference doing this).
