Wow, that looks fantastic Murf! Can't wait to see it 100% done, all polished up. Hope your wifey enjoys miles of smiles!

OMG d00d you're so right! I checked my records. The round trip was only 4060 miles -- no more than about 200 of which were on I-roads. Lots and lots of fun ways to get there and back.

Had the Caterham out for a jaunt yesterday. I'm torn between getting proper tires for it versus enjoying how easily it gets sideways on these old things.
