Blue Ray is home! just after 1pm
feeling incredibly sad - an a bit happy at the same time... sad because all of the huge amount spent before, was work not done well in general - happy because Alan Poulter has yes, had to take to assess, time, to fix old errors and issues, but I'll have a car driveable locally for the Festive Season.
Chauffeur: get your bow tie and top hat ready :-D

... after all this time, thanks to Yerghan, we have the last little missing piece, the indicator fitting - so at last... Blue Ray will be ready soon. A.P. found some kind of leak again - something we thought was fixed, well, I thought anyway, but I'm no mechanic.
2 years ago I'd hoped to take Blue Ray to the Studebaker Smuts House show - then discovered issues, because there are deadline months when other things get neglected...
anyway, soon, very soon.... this beauty will be better than ever.
we STILL need a front left indicator and light fitting..... somehow these were either never there or disappeared
soon & very soon Blue Ray will be home - just a last sorting on the brakes.... it seems they were not sorted properly before - but now I am totally confident that this beauty will drive like a dream

To me, the Opel Manta is one of the most beautiful cars... so it didn't take long for inspiration to set in for car-mad artist Heide-Marie

I love flowers that resemble the colour of my car

Blue Ray's starter is faulty, not the battery - it is in for repairs.
