Looks great Ben! I picked up the metallic black RS caps and trimmed the needles because with a 6pm start position, didn't like how the short end swept over the odometer of my RevLimiter gauges.

Thank you very much, I was momentarily confused when I opened the box for the needles, then I remembered you had some and checked out your thread.
Looks right on your gauges to cut off the excess, but I didn't fancy doing it to mine. Some careful work with a file sorted them out.
I took the Eunos to a show at Goodwood Circuit yesterday, the weather has been terrible in the UK for the last few months, with snow and hail. Yesterday morning though, was lovely.
I set off at 6am to arrive at 7, the show is a 'breakfast club' and is only on for a few hours.
I managed to park in one of the old style pit garages they have at Goodwood Circuit, after driving down the start finish straight to access it.
A few shots of my interior, its getting there. Next up is a 2DIN stereo unit, nice a simple.
Then leaving at around 10:30am, I had to take another picture of my car in the rare UK sun.

About a week ago we had a cruise ship arrive in Southampton, apparently the largest in the world. It was huge, tallest thing in the city when it was in. I live in a village the other side of the water from Southampton, so a few evenings ago I went to take a peak. I can confirm its huge, and I never want to go on a cruise.

This is a good example of how the stock NA design really doesn't need much changing to look awesome. A big inspiration for (perhaps...) going black when I get to painting mine.

Thank you very much Vegard, I love the stock NA lines, they work so well why mess with them?
Although black looks good, damn does it need a lot of care. I am painting my Classic Mini project white, so much simpler to keep right.
Really enjoyed this thread. This is such a lovely example. Makes me want an NA again

Beautiful ride Ben!
And you will not catch me on one of the noro-plagied vessels, either.
Tossing back a pint to a brother in black!
Why wouldn't you want to cruise on such a beautiful ship? It's not like the old White Star line and bad iceberg reports or anything.

I really don't see the appeal of a cruise ship. I love boats of all sorts, but cruise ship vacations aren't my cup of tea.
Went for a drive today in the sun.
I have a show my car has been accepted into next Saturday, so need to find an opportunity to give the car a polish this week, but its a busy week at work. I am away at Le Mans for 6 days in the middle of the month, so can't get behind with work.
Some new parts incoming from Tomoyo san at Car Make Corn's, she has got me some more Garage Vary and Mazdaspeed bits

I took my Eunos to Players Classic on Saturday, its a large show thats twice a year over here. Mostly for 'ground-touching' and modified cars, but its quite a relaxed show.
I loved this R32 that was there, the inside was perfect with little Japanese touches.
