    Well, although I've been pretending to be retired, and FF's actually not been posting on any forum (It's actually been his youngest son) we have both been working uninterrupted on Brett's car. As of this evening it is completed. What a totally magnificent machine it is, he will be very proud, and the envy of us all.

    Sooooo, who'd like to see a pic?

    Carl.

    NO, not at all mate, thats, why I'm still up so late. I want to see the joke. :)

    The shell was still at the beaters today at 4pm so I'm amazed you guys had it painted and assembled in a few hours.

    I'll be able to negotiate the final cost now thanks. 8 hrs to totally reassemble the car. ;)

    On Naomai, I'm working. :D

    The only finishing touch it requires is a rainbow pride sticker on the top of the screen :)

    Thanks mate, you did offer, ;) but I'm a bit reluctant to drive other peoples cars just in case something happens, ie stone chip etc.
