Now you should be getting REALLY excited.
Shame it comes with the need to make the final payment.
Did you make a final decision on the colour.

YES! Great, well done Dale (and Dave may have played a very small part in it).

Excellent news, I look forward to seeing it in the tin.

Not 100% but almost certainly going to be Wimbledon White. Only having a couple of months shakedown before I put the car to sleep for winter Ive decided not to waste time waiting for paint and drive instead. I'll most probably get it done over the winter, although I am toying with the idea of getting it wrapped and seeing if I like it, then get painted late summer 2018.

I'm going for the race look ...

Well done Dale

I saw the car on Tuesday this week and it was looking truly spectacular, now it has been de-IVA'd.

I'm sure you will be utterly delighted with it.

Anticipate every moment - the journey home will most likely be one that you will remember for many years to come.

Enjoy!

Not very .... I'll be pilot in a transport truck :-). Thanks Lee, be nice to have it in my garage. Hope too much doesn't fall off, or go pop, or leak :shock:

Yeah Dale...enjoy! Just in time for the Spanish Trip...perfect!!! We need photos please, and lots of 'em.

Reminds me when Gerry delivered my Kirhkham about 7 days before the 2010 Le Mans Classic trip. Folks on that trip will remember 1) the scalding water trick outside the circuit and 2) the irregular fuel pump delivery:)

This time around the rear suspension will have been totally rebuilt together with some of the front suspension and all four brake discs skimmed and re-padded. Only this time delivery will be less than 7 days before the Spanish Trip. Could be interesting???

Naughty Colin!

I'm afraid 427 Photos are only to be shared either in a brown paper bag, under the counter, or via the dark web, which specialises I believe in cars that are Black, Maroon, BRG or Royal Blue, though I may of course have misunderstood this point.

Once upon a time there was a thrilling television project which stole viewers away from other popular channels and programmes. The starring roles were occupied by two incredibly talented actors who had already achieved multiple award wins. The scripts were written by a highly-acclaimed team who had scored numerous previous successes. The first series was so successful that it spawned a second series, and eventually a third. The subsequent series' started to attract even more famous actors and the idea was copied in the U.S. by Fox and later by the French channel France 2.

That project was known as BROADCHURCH.

And as far as I'm concerned, that is what we are in the 289 Register, a broad church. The silliness and emotional immaturity that has been displayed in recent months by some members of the church has been disappointing to me...at times their behaviour has at first puzzled and then subsequently saddened me. I deliberately kept out of it as I frankly had more important things to attend to, but nevertheless kept a corner of my eye open to what was going on. I consider that period one of the darkest in this church's history and sincerely hope that all members can put it behind them and move on. Thinly veiled references to that period are not welcomed by the vast majority of members of this broad church, whose spirit of intent is entirely positive, welcoming and uplifting.

And that's all I have to say about that.
