The record breaker job is mindblowing detail wise.

Hmm?   33k euro reserve not met.

Record breaker is perhaps an acquired taste but someone has enjoyed building that. The Schmitt is as you want to find them to restore. Address looks wrong but the area reminds me of Frank Tuneg's (spelling) place where unlike Britain you are allowed to have your abode attached to your business unit. Such a sensible idea. The bonus is out of hours acres of empty area to play in to test out machines. If this sort of property were generally available in Britain I would be in one and much more likely to be working rather than not so I do not have interfering clipboard types hassling me about planning issues etc. Another reason we are an uncompetitive economy and so simple to change. I would like to drive a Schmitt with a mag engine, very much more responsive to tuning but requiring more skill to drive as the power increases I expect.

I totally agree with you Big Al. The Schmitt is as you want to find them to restore, but the area you mentioned is not the area Frank Thunig does live. Coincidentally it was Frank himself calling me last night asking me who the vendor could be!

I bought my Trident form Frank. He does indeed have the ideal set up for a petrol head.

I'd prefer to simply live in the country away from congestion and BMW X5's....

One day then, more pennies earned the faster you can do it.
I could not cope with living in town, even though it was Blackheath - meant to be a good address - nor could I cope with the commute - Brands Hatch to Charlton. I had to change career to live well outside the wealth of London. A trade off many make but I am glad I chucked it in myself.
Still it pays for a nice collection of toys doesn't it?
