    I could look at photos like that all night. Any on track shots? Any 308 Michelotto will do. :)

    Nice to see the owner is a lady. Not often you see that.

    Yeah, my parents worked there in the 1960's (Gee I'm old), were in Athens and Thessaloniki for a couple of years. The photos they have of that time are hilarious, just lazing around on the beach drinking, not doing very much at all. Oh, and I suppose conceiving me at some stage, though the in joke, is that I don't look like anyone else in the family, so dad occasionally teases mum she must have have rooted the postman. I popped out 4 days after they came home. I'm the lazy ass good for nothing, my brother is the successful architect hahahahaha. Perhaps some truth in that lol. But sorry, I'm really 1/4 Welsh by decent.

    Yeah a few more, but I don't take race car photography that seriously I'm sorry, I just took these with a compact digital.

    I hope you like the last pic, that's the 308 passing a lorry.

    ya know, I was thinking 'gee this GTB just doesn't sit on the road as nicely as the GT4'

    Today I did a wheel alignment check.

    1 deg camber left front and almost 2 on the right.

    Caster spot on 2.1mm total toe.

    REAR

    Toe right 0.1 left 1.6mm

    Camber left 1.5 right 2.0

    *sigh*

    poor old car.

    The stupid thing is you could SEE it was out just by looking at the bolts on the suspension forks. Just weird.

    Did you get the chance to have a look at the offset of each wheel as I showed you on my car? That was really strange A. (A is kiwi speak)

    I've got an eye that pics small differences up. Maybe due to me being mechanical???? I followed RB in his Jag at the weekend and I reckon it's crabbing albeit by a small amount.

    Probably. It had a huge hit and was a structural write off before he bought it. It's never been right.

    Tell us about the condensate pump? :)
