I doubt I'd qualify Ferry and I doubt I'd want one anyway!
Been tinkering and I think (only 'think'!) I might be getting a small grasp on the repainting procedure.
I say small because I want to remove the numbers and strange decals off cars that just don't work as race cars.
But so far it's baby steps!
Caught today's depressing news bulletin, 40C in the UK, 'bushfires' as we call them in the South of France, Spain and Portugal, the arrival of our third COVID wave and the horrendous number of Australian Native wild life specis on the verge of extinction.............
Must be time for my 'happy pills'.

Memories of a happy time at Uni and my BN6.
The Alfa might not be their prettiest car but this drives really well, it fits the roads around Slea Head well.

Way back when both my younger brothers were into Motor Cross and Two Strokes they had an old friend of my Father who was an ace tuner working on their bikes.
Possibly one of the most talented 'stroker tuners' of his time, 'Bert' Flood was pretty good with four stroke cars as well.
He owned a Daytona (I was SO envious!!!!) and decided to pull it down and rebuild 'better than Ferrari' as he put it.
I never knew if he finished it as it always seemed to be in pieces and I was 'away' often.
But I really was bitten by the Daytona virus thanks to Bert.
That's my excuse for posting Pessio's great release......!

Desirable cars!
Well, I think so and the 300SL is the only Benz I'd ever want to own.
Cruising the LA Hills.
The 250GT Lusso has always seemed to be the best road going model of the 250GT family.
Late in the day at the Port Newark Docks.
I wouldn't want to own a Supra if I was confined to urban driving but for Melbourne to Sydney it always seemed to be ideal.
My youngest brother owned one and it was awkward around the city but effortless on the freeways.

Track titled 'My Backyard'......it's not up to current aesthetic standards but it is really good to drive.
The 'gravel' 911 is way better than I expected FWIW.
Ferry, every now and again Legion come up with a decent car and both the 935/77 and 935/80 are better than average.
Wonder who he ripped off to do these.
And how are you enjoying the heat?

What heat? It was warm here on Monday (31 degrees) and very hot on Tuesday (About 39 degrees) but that was a very dry day so quite bareable, except the drive home from work. Wednesday was warm (About 30) but very humid and felt worse than Tuesday. After that the rain came and we are currently down to about 23 degrees.

Speaking of Alfas...the HSS Alfa P2, really nice!!!!
And their Alfa P3 is very good but I think it might well be modeled on a post war variation, fatter rubber and a smallish fuel tank.
Perhaps a hill climber or a 'Brooklands' sprinter?
This is by 'Legion' with a couple of minor tweaks and while not as detailed as the HSS P3 it has better sound and looks like the classic 1930s 'Scuderia Ferrari' run Alfa.
Loving them all just the same!
