I enjoy this thread about your weekends and weather, Bryony (my wife) and me, did a simultaneous sigh when we saw your picture "waaaytoo much..."
Here on the English south coast the snow is nudging down close but pretty unlikely to come to much. Temp has been close to freezing over the last 10 days or so. Whilst it is a little warmer here on the coast, it actually feels really cold, I guess from the damp in the air from the sea which mostly surrounds Purbeck, we are almost an island.
I am pretty tied up finishing a 1:1 Alvis Grey Lady for a customer at the moment, but hoping to make a start tomorrow on my second chassis build, this time for one of Harry's wonderful Ford bodies.
Incidentally, I have a 1:1 Turner 950 s chassis in the workshop at the moment, this car has spent most of it's time in America racing before being re imported to the uk. The chassis is a very sturdy 3" tube frame. I think it would make a great scratchbuild slot car. Can post photos if anyone would like.
Have a great weekend.
(Thanks for having me as part of this group, slot cars aside, it is great to see and hear your seasons preparations, it rubs of a little in our home too).
