Re-word again!

                                                     June 2010

Tues.01.06.10. The definitive plan remains on hold because Chris needs to re-install his WC, (there goes that fuckin’ re word again) but nevertheless the work on the paintwork has commenced at my lock up in Marylebone. Using first of all the compound G3 the rear of the vehicle has been the starting point. When all the panels have been completed a relatively new product ‘Tempo’ originating from Poland can repeat the process, hopefully returning a glass like finish.

Meanwhile the syndicate horse owners have returned in triumph from Redcar. As suspected they did push the boat out consuming huge quantities of champagne: there was, however, no firm declaration of how much they had actually won. Somewhat typically many of the members of the Roy Castle corner remained extremely quiet, offering scant congratulations: perhaps a tad jealous?

Thurs.03.06.10. Chris phoned very early this morning to cancel any potential work on the vehicle as he was still re-installing his WC: but he did mention that he had found the missing aero screen bolts as well as the cushioned pads. They had fallen behind some stored timber: predictably no apology followed. Later in the Oak I learned from Lewis that only last week, I had been blamed for the loss, my character blackened yet again characteristically and most vigorously by Chris; so no change there.

The paintwork is ‘flattening off’ gradually. It will be necessary to apply at least two coats of G3 then followed by the ‘Tempo’: hopefully a glass like surface should emerge.
