You can't have too much orange!

Posted by JPLS in Nothing ventured nothing gained, 19 May 2013 · 103 views

You can't have too much orange! Hi All. It is a matter of taste, but as I decided not to go for a full rebuild of the engine I thought I might as well dress it up a bit. So having 2 weeks holiday planned I took some bits down to the local powder coater and specified ORANGE. Results as in the above picture - not too bad, but as I say a matter of taste.

The Start

Posted by Captain-Dan in Enclosed Trailer Build Diary, 03 May 2013 · 239 views

I built my Westfiield last year and have a nice home for it in my garage. Due to work I am due to move in October and where I am moving to there is no garages - I also tend to move every 2 years and can't guarantee if I will have anywhere to store it. My solution is to build an enclosed trailer. I explored many options including purchasing a Brian William...

Insurance

Posted by PaulJones148 in PaulJones148's Blog, 08 February 2013 · 243 views

We are insured though "ADRIAN FLUX" and they keep asking me, do I want an agreed value of the car?Does anyone think this is a good idea, if the car is stolen, damaged I would only get market value but if I fill in the forms for an agreed value I could get what the car is actually worth.Help!
