Resistance is futile and all that.

That's the Vogons from THHGTTG - they were the galaxy's bureaucrats.
Maybe there's a sub-basement somewhere in the DVLA that is rented to the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council.

I was referring to the Borg...a cube structure manned by mindless automatons, just like the DVLA.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Holy crap, you work fast!  :o

Nah, not really I just had a good base bike to start with. Yours on the other hand, looks a real challenge!

You should see the car I restored, took 8 years and I got made redundant 3 times whilst doing it.

I'm 7 years and one redundancy into my car resto. Only pulled the motor for a quick swap...  :-[

Did you fix the leak, or get to the end and then realise you'd done everything else but.  :P

Still haven't plumbed the engine in on mine.  ::)

Thanks for your kind words.

Shameless bit of self promotion but here is a link to the restoration for anybody who may be interested.

That's a cool vid. Astonishing amount of work in there. Even though I come from the cut it up and race it camp, it's good to see someone restoring one. 😎
