Congrats Ton and Veerle, Must be an awful long period of time you're going through right now I'm really happy for you and congratulates you with your new toy!!! Best Carsten
Thanks Carsten. Yes, this is a difficult time. At first I thought that it would not be a problem, but now I realize that I have to wait for another TWO months!!! I am happy that it is winter, although today would have been a wonderful day to drive the TR. Next week I leave for South Africa and when I return it is already almost December. It will be January before we know it. I am really looking forward to the next season.
Great news Ton, sorry for my late answer, but i was in California. Hope you'll enjoy the TR. Hope to see you on the Belgian roads...soon
Hey Ton, don't feel to bad to have to wait to drive your TR, you'll be in it way before I would..I hope to start driving the TR or else in March .Have a safe trip Roland F40LM
Ton - I sat in a Testa for about 15 minutes this afternoon. It felt WAY too confortable. Please don't tell my wife! MARK
tut tut Ton, The testa looks wonderful - can't wait to see it. You might not even be at the back this year!!!
Ha ha! I might still be at the back though. But that is because you don't know that I am one round ahead of you.
This weekend the package from Leatherique arrived. There was paint pouring out of it and the postman refused to take it back. When I opened it I found out that unfortunately two bottles opened during transport. I have send an email to George from Leatherique and I am currently waiting for his reply. He is a friendly guy and I am sure that they will solve this in a good way. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm scared that that will be the case! Debs says: "It's your money - you do what you want with it". Ouch... You know "that" tone of voice?? MARK
Yes, as you can see on the earlier pictures there is a little bit of patina on the drivers seat. I want to treat this with some of the Leatherique products because I understand that the outcome is really nice. I also believe that you should treat the leather well to keep it in good shape. Unfortunately they will have to send a new package. It was quite a mess.
Ah, I just heard that the chrome Cavallino for the rear grill and the Scuderia emblems for the fenders have arrived. Only one more loooooong month!
Ton - does that mean you're going to be taking the seats out, removing the old patina on the leather and starting again? If so, you're a brave man! It sounds like really hard work to me! maybe I should do some more reading and try to get my driver's seat into better shape. Cheers, MARK
