Due to the wonderful picture montages that Rick & JJ (and others) put up here for us, we don't need to go to the shows, just grab a cup of coffee along with some Jaffa Cakes and have a peruse from the comfort of home Grin Grin Grin Grin
When I saw the picture of the Black Pop with the Woolfies, I thought it was my mates,  but when I got the picture of his one up on my phone, he has chrome wheels, but the rest looks virtually identical Roll Eyes
Thanks guys for taking the time to share.

Just yesterday I spoke to a good buddy of mine..and he told me he had got fed up of going to static shows and people (idiots ?) coming up to him and saying..." That's not original,you haven't got the correct gudgeon pin washers ? ". 

Seen that happen - really nice bloke, into early jap bikes and all sorts of other stuff - our bike club had a stand at a car show and we were watching a beuatifully restored car arrive - it was a Spridget or something of that order, and he said "Pity it's the wrong colour - they never did that model in yellow"

Same bloke changed the exhaust on his 400/4 before taking it on the run because he 'didn't want to blue the new exhaust'.

That's okay Paul. I do work very hard at getting the right shot. Of course Rick is helpful too, holding the camera bag, telling the plonker who walked in front of me to #*/@$?! move but as you most probably know, that is the price you pay for excellence.  I do appreciate the recognition though.  Roll Eyes
