Hi mate

I am knackered i haven't done so much screwing since i was in my early 20's rebuilding my speed boat motor.

I will post photos in the morning because i am having a few cold beers to celebrate the birth of my mistress ( so she who has to be obeyed calls her).

The first bolts in the chassis was a feeling that i really can't describe .

I have wanted one of these cars since 1965 or 1966 i can't remember

Cheers

Brad

Brad, after seeing the quality of work you did on your PACE 427, I am very impressed.

I have added your name to the staff whiteboard. Will have a list of jobs for you to do in the shop next week. You can work on your PACE 427 in your spare time. Just don't know if I could afford you.

Really enjoyed having you there today, see you Sunday.

Default Nice Words

Thanks for the nice words and encouragement

Tony you will have a great time at the Pace facility as i know i have.

I have to tear myself away every time I go there because time really flies.

Don't forget to get Craig to show the 6 Spot Brembo Brake Calipers .There is only one way to describe them WOW.

I don't know what Wazza will do with the line Leroy but i'm sure we will all get a laugh from it even its at my expense laughing at one self can be a very enjoyable experience it builds character.

Craig the white board already has a notation on it which reads "Brad Urgent"

I really appreciate your kind words and thanks very much for the help from yourself ,Wayne, Don and Rob.

Hey Bod i have been known to do the chant all i want is a Cobra even when i have been sober haha

Cheers Brad
