Following a barrage of eMails and PM's from JK, he has asked me to stand in for him while he is away. I have been in the shed all day wiring my new car. Apart from the odd snap and recording my progress with my car build, I haven't taken a single photograph so far this year.

Once the car is back on the road for the first time since February 1991, I hope to be using it to trundle about in the Lake District and further afield.

As for Fb my ex wife, who practically lives on Fb, sat me down over a coffee and spent well over an hour trying to explain to me what it does and I am still bewildered, I really can't see what it is trying to achieve, even less can I see any reason to engage with it. But then I don't have television or a telephone either, so I am probably beyond help.

One thing the car build is doing is creating local interest, I have a succession of visitors who call by to see how I am going on and to check up on my progress.

This is the sort of car I am aiming to replicate, roughly...



This was taken about a month ago.



I am not trying to build a replica, rather take some of the more appealing features of the Alfa Romeo style and re-create them in my own way.
