I know what ya mean, would like to be doing some thing with the cars but the kids need entertaining...

My chassis is off to hospital hopefully this week to have some work done to cure it's bad brackets. Hopefully Dr Tall Andy and Dr Small Andy will be able to sort it

Then I can get my mind back in gear and if I am lucky get to the rolling floored stage by the end of the summer holls

Carl........... Your bodywork does look nice "in the flesh" its difficult to tell when looking at a small sample card, but your kit looks great, its turned out really nice

TT...... You,ll soon have it rolling

Yes, we had a good chat about it, Saturn hadn,t done that colour before so it was a bit of "unknown result " etc when only looking at a small sample card ,
Its turned out great & it looks the mutts nuts

cheers

It does look nice, the camera doesn't really show it off very well and there must be some muck on the lens as it looks a bit blotchy.

Will have a full kit ready for Saturday for you Carl.

Regards...AndyH (Dr Andy Tall - cheers TT )

I thought it looked black, but then it dawned it might have some other special property that the camera didn't pick up like flake or pearl...
