doing the things that we want to

i have the ugliest car in the world

,

and here it is !

luckily colin, the guy who delivered it from suffolk took away all the type 3 panels that simon delivered yesterday. MORE New Old Stock delivered into the evil clutches of the type three detectives!

was very funny seeing the reaction from the yardies on the corner opposite my house… the best bit was when i started it up to dtrive it off the trailer without the ramps down, it looked like i was going to floor it and jump the car off. luckily the trailer is a seesaw style one si i gingerly edged it off and onto the drive. the police took a cruise past extra slow to see what was up but they rolled on witha a look that said ‘ignore it, if we stop there’s far too much paperwork involved…’

had a good giggle watching the locals trying to work out what was going on. loads of people speak patois around here but colin is a good ol’ boiy from noomarkut and even though i lived there for ten years i can’t understand a word he was saying. so us shouting up and down the street as we unloaded car and re loaded a pile of NOS panels put the locals to shame… 🙂

so…

although i thought the day was going disasterously it seems that it turned out ok…
i finished painting the frame on the new pit bike (though i did pay my boy louie to bare metal it. after doing the other bits i just kinda lost the impetus to do it…)

i even picked up a new box of akciddento stickers from the printers. i only have a few of the ‘doing the things that we want to’ ones left and i shall keep them for the archives. the new designs are the same as the old ones (just to be consistent) but with the new strap line-

heroic and glorious or blind and stupid, only history can judge us
