Monaco for the beach?

A few years back a friend of mine was sporting what looked like a plastic Rolex Submariner.

Story goes that a smart beach hotel in Italy was getting fed up of guests being robbed and so was handing out plastic Rolex's while the originals went into the hotel safe - could be true, who knows.

These now seem to be all over the place and are quite fashionable.

Anyway a quick google turned up a plastic Monaco.

Not advertised as a fake Monaco at all and actually being sold via Amazon.com I thought I'd give it a go.

It's basically as you'd expect for the money :-)

Summer comes to Scotland @ last!

Helmet Alarm clock malfunction

So, here's an interesting problem.

The clock runs fine and is highly accurate - just one tiny problem.

It only works upside down or on it's back :-)

If you run it upright it stops after a couple of minutes.

More investigation required!

124 Spider - Progress at last!

Finally received the replacement fender at the end of last week.
Much more what I was expecting.
Finishing etc is 100% better than the previous 2 - this one also had the light fitting in place.
So, next stage is to get them on the car!
YIKES!!!!
