That's quite a facility you've hurt the use of there, Ben. Have ask also, what camera are you using for those close-up shots? They're quality.

Today I fiddled with my work-in-progress A2 3D model, and launched couple of renders Still quite few bits to sort out...

Nice work. Can I ask what package you're using for the modelling? Many years ago (it must be at least 15) I spent quite a while modelling an A2. I lost the lot when the hard drive went belly up

Today I

Finally finished driving Basil , and we had some time for a wash and a bit of a polish

He is now 15 years old , just clocked over 180k miles and on the 5th owner

The last 8 months have been a wild ride of ownership , but with the support of the A2oc , WOM autos , @Clackers , and @timmus plus a host of others , he fitting fit , and racking up around 700 miles a week

As with any car that’s well into bargain cash , it’s fingers crossed that I don’t get any futher huge bills....

The key points of enjoyment are , 6 speed box , remap , hand free kit , sat nav , and 70 plus MPG

Thanks all for the support, here’s to the next 180k miles !!!

....fitted Sophie's new wheel centre caps...

Old one

New one (sorry about the scabby wheel)

£25 for the set from eBay. They look OEM but I'm sure they're not at that price, but they're pretty good.

 

[johnyfartbox]

I've just refurbished the same wheels.
