Same here, the Stagea, Moogs 240 build and also Moogs Vtech Mini with Miles are 3 of the finest series on KZfaq, the cross channel colabs were great a few years back. Then we have the whole Cresta story, my favourite car on KZfaq, close 2nd Too Sexy :oops

Benny, if you make good on the US Drag Week for '22 and see a hand made sign that says "BCW Pit Stop" pull in- there might well be a case of lemon squash in it for the team! The only car I didn't hear mentioned is the "flat white Capuccino"- I thought you had something doing on that, but.... You're doing great- if you need to do some shorts, singly or a couple together, I'll be there! FR
