Plenty of interesting distractions in my garage (including 30 vintage vespas awaiting restoration), but nothing can take my attention from finishing the Beach Car.

I think Ronie should sell all of the Vespa's on ebay and pay off the Greek national debt

Nice bikes, I am saving at the moment to buy a mountain bike. Only got a Road bike atm.

The garage is used as a proper garage - spraying and welding etc. I instead took over the attic as the man-space and put Slot Car racing in there! Unfortunately this is in mid-build mode whilst I put the computer system and monitor in, plus all the run offs, kerbs and barriers.
