Happy new life! Things changed bigtime back in the summer, but nothing has changed about my reluctance to document it all. The Annexe has effectively trebled its floor space, and that much again has been added in overhead storage. Somehow this has not resulted in a lot of empty space.

Shi no Senkoku


One man brings two to the cone party down and out ? naw, it was just a wiggle. The Annexe has been silent for far too long.  For the last quarter of 2015 it was because I was waiting to have good news after a motor swap in the Bugeye. And that news has not come, because the JDM […]
