  2. My dad bought it new in 89 when I was about 8 months old, 5.3 V12 convertible, done 9500 miles from new. He died 6 years ago so I look after it now.

    Of course I forgot to take pics at the end of the day , but here’s the bike going back on ground and rolling
    Still undecided on the red plastics , it’s a race bike so it’s the sensible approach not to use original parts ,.. but I just prefer them silver ...

  5. Wow , thats a proper time warp.
    Worked on a few of those when I worked at ha fox's in guildford. Also worked for john coombs back in the late 80's, we were bmw then tho.
    His collection of classic jags was lovely tho , always remember his bright yellow ex works c type turning up cos he wanted to drive it down to classic le mans .

  8. Thanks for the love. Doesn't move much obviously but will be out for a spring clean tomorrow and planning to use it for work a bit over the next few weeks with the weather looking decent.

    MDUBZ it's actually almost silent, not really any drama it's a chilled out cruiser that wobbles about slowly!

  12. Tell you what bud never mind appearing on GD I’m thinking Kevin McCloud needs to step aside. Your architectural vision is in a class of it’s own.

  18. Apart from shopping for 45 minutes this morning I’ve really not done a lot apart from sun bathing in the garden.

    I’m still waiting on sanding discs to arrive so I can finish sanding and teak oil the last couple of garden chairs.

    So having done the square root of fuck all today why am I tired?
     
  19. Well done Noobie. My bin men got a thank you note and a packet of Jaffa Cakes last week. This week I upped my game with a packet of Tunnocks Caramel Waffers
     
  20. Doing nothing is really tiring.
