The McCoy will have a long way to go to catch up with it and at the rate I am going I don't think I will have enough years to get there.. and on the other front , I have had some nice remarks about the Aston, the funny thing is that when I moved into our close, I was the only one with an Audi and now there are 6, I wonder if they will follow this one...lol

pompeyal - Very nice toy indeed. :cool:

But have you been able to resist the obvious quote and theme tune when sitting in/driving it?
( As I know I wouldn't. )

The name's Bond, James Bond.

Badap ba daa ba da daa ba daa da deda daa…

:icon_wink:

Good luck, Paul. :)

It has its own theme tune and it makes me smile all the time I'm in it, in fact I am using it as my daily so as you can guess, I have been smiling an awful lot since I got it...:icon_lol:

I was only joking, it looks great and sure am envious. I used to lust after a 911 but as time has passed I think the Aston is the more desirable and the shape is to die for. Glad you are getting the full use out of it as they need to be driven not just polished.

LOL, mind you I have washed and polished it 3 times since I got it....never done that before on any car I have had all the time I had them....and yes it is a great shape to slide a wet shammie over....:icon_lol:

Looks like Photo Bucket are going to send there self to the wall by stopping all that use it for posting images onto third party sites. This will screw our forums a treat, sorry guys but I don't think I will be trying to get all my photo's back here unless someone knows a quick and easy way, Thanks for looking anyway. Regards Al

Anymore updates on the McCoy or are you still polishing the Aston! LOL.
pompeyal 7 Jul 2017, 9:46pm
Done an awful lot of polishing...lol, I have not touched the McCoy for a while but I have a few weeks off after next week and have made some moulds to make raised turrets for the back end so I will probably get on and build them in and finally get round to finish fitting the front projectors...

pompeyal – A curse on Photobucket for destroying so many enjoyable build threads overnight.

Good luck getting the next few jobs sorted out, Paul. :)
