27/09/2008 Collection day

After a 4 hour drive, 3 hours at Great British Sportscars and another 4 hours to get back home I am the proud owner of a Zero Superspec in Kawasaki Green with stainless steel panels.

Oh what have I done, I now have a garage full of bits and pieces nuts and bolts. All I have to do now Is make a cup of tea (or several) and start building. I mean it's just a big meccano set right? Well over the next few weeks we'll find out.
