    Pleasure, as always.
    There's so much nonsense out there, it has become the new normal, now.

    This was the Texas Doctor's drive-to-work car for many years, another life well-lived.

    Exactly, that and everyone thinks they're an expert.

    A few mins ago.
    Ready for a photoshooting for the upcoming new 288 GTO Book.
    And no, none of these three 288's is for sale.

    It’s a pleasure to say yes, she has been mine for around 13 years now.

    It's the beautifully original low mileage ex-Morris Kessler GTO we sold him over a dozen years ago, I think you'll remember Morris.

    That fuel feed line has gone rather frilly! I know it is only the outer material covering and is not under pressure but only standard stuff and easy to replace.

    I just let Ian go through the car, and replace what ever is needed, they know there game there, Ian always overseas the work and being 15 minutes away its nice to see her on the lift from the underside. it is a fine balance, what ever pipes are taken of and replaced, I keep them, so I have the originals I know Ian was saying yesterday that its getting very hard to replace the original pipes as the texture and pattern on them is different on the replacement ones.

    I had no doubt it would have been addressed either now or in the past if it was of concern, I have glued them back down and then dyed them on similar era cars, as the new material seems more shiny/plastiky. Probably man made nylon rather than cotton based. The rubber underneath does tend to become rigid, not being under pressure it wont leak though unless disturbed.

    Paul it's nice to see how you've taken care of this GTO, and so cool you've kept the EE plates the car used on day one.

    How often do you see plates on an EVO?! Bonus F50 too.

    Both cars are now in the USA, and I believe that F50 is 99999.

    hmm I need to check my files. I think this is one of the GTOs I used to own. It’s looking good!
