        This is a beast I've always wanted to build, and mine is in a place in my room where I can see it every day
        ...Build me...build me...
        Seriously tho', Peter, are you de-chroming or use as is?
        Also, that cat looks a bit overscale...

                    That was a bit odd... Oh, wait, motor oil! Right. What was I thinking?

                      Who knows - surely Duckhams resonates with you Chris!

                        That’s coming together quickly Peter. Looks like it will be a fitting tribute to the Bentley Boys.

                          Yup. Fair point - and I wish I'd thought of Duckhams first!

                          BTW Peter, the beast is coming on very nicely...
                          ...build me...
