    for a written explanation for the increase in costs (50% over an already high (in my and others I have asked) opinion) and a final cost to finish the car to which I have not received a reply.

  • The Donkey trap future - motoring with no motor 31 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    Elegance is dead really don`t you think? It`s been a steady downhill run since the Art Deco era and now across the world slobbery prevails in dress and attitude. Shambling figures in tatty jeans, bloated by the puffery of wadding and internal padding. Long gone, the effort or fashion
