Re: Andy's Reborn MGF

It doesn't have to many lights at the moment, perhaps when I sort them out we can photograph it again. Depending on what time I get home from work tomorrow we may come down to The Ship so might see you there.

The LEDs can be turned on and off, it's just a bit of fun. If you don't like the LEDs your gonna hate the lasers.

Looking forward to the grand reveal. When are you taking the car to Essex Roadsters Andy? Would be great to see it in the flesh, as it were :)
I plan on going to the Thursday meet, when I get the car back.
