Quick break to the archives…. to Louise Goodman apparently.

Wow. That’s a fairly terrifying vid

Just in case anyone needs reminding how good the V8 that you’re about to pull apart looks. Particularly on these wheels (better than the Sport350 wheels for me).

So you need a Peter Stevens design V8, and and up with a car that (to me) doesn’t look as arresting as the donor car

Because I didn't know cold water kitchen taps exist :oops:
Thought it was a bathroom thing only. Well that solves 1 problem.


I put a sink in the space above our garage - which only had a cold water (mains) feed.

Installed one of these with a normal mixer tap - you’d have to have a really slow ...
