Take a look at www.theroadkings.com - notice especially the URL’s as you click around the site. The whole thing is ajax-driven, with no way of linking to a specific page (at least without downloading the ajaxEngine.js and reading the file). It’s a superb example of using latest kick-ass technologies completely inappropriately. Why ...

  I haven't had the chassis off the lift and outside where I can see it for quite a few months. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna pull up a deckchair and just stare awhile..

Jasmine has returned after 5 weeks in the shop. An old woman ran a stop sign and did a number on the front end of the car and although her insurance company picked up the tab, it still took forever to get fixed. No-one makes parts for this car, so everything had to be found and bought from individuals or junk yards. Took her out at lunch time ...

I've been working in my new 600sqft office all this week, and I love it! Tara and I joke that I may never go home again, especially as the commute has definately got worse - now almost 100ft from the kitchen. When we had the garage built the upstairs was for storage, but that only lasted a few weeks before we insulated and sheetrocked. Here ...

This week I came to a realisation that my long term project road-racing '37 Ford is dead.
