Thurs.30.03.06. We have had quite a busy day. All the wings have now been stripped and are being finely finished with 600 glass paper. Danny has been co-opted to help move the tub from Marylebone transferring wooden, aluminium structure to the garage at Westmead. We managed to lift the tub into David’s van then placed it on the newly bought adjustable stands ready for the final strip down. Part of this deal also involved Danny taking the BMW to Gordon’s paint shop to have the minor cosmetic faults rectified. He is definitely committed to the car now insisting that the repair work should be top draw, Chris at that point assured Danny that everyone at the paint shop is very professional being ‘ultra’ careful with customer’s cars. After this sincere statement there was one moment of doubt when Chris accidentally stumbled onto the ‘BM’ knocking off the nearside wing mirror. Having forced the mirror back into place Chris related the time when he was visiting Humphrey Moons’ showroom and, again, inadvertently twice damaged the wing mirror on a brand new Rav 4, to which Humphrey responded by asking Chris if he wanted either to purchase the vehicle or merely to borrow the mirror for one of his other vehicles.
Danny found the story quite amusing but when I told him that the very same day, as Chris was bidding everyone farewell, he backed into an open top MR2 sports car subsequently tumbled in leaving us with the sight of two feet waving in mid air, he wasn’t sure whether to smile or weep
