I imagine they're all asleep now, so we'll have to wait until later today.

Have fun with it (like anyone needs to tell you that

)

Ditto. I'd love to have contributed. If only I had known.

So, what's the story. Full details. Please. Enquiring minds want to know.

Well, what an amazing day followed by a bloody top night of partying and VLM... there will be more and better pictures soon but here are a few of the Tempest machine from my camera...

The splodges on the picture are on my camera lens, not on the cab - which is perfect. It really does look absolutely brand new. It's completely amazing

Giles takes it for a spin

...

Surfr and Gravy look on while Fuse ninjas his way to the top score slot

...

Early evening and those lovely vectors really starting to glow...

Long exposure in the dark... MMMMMmmmmm....

I still keep getting occasional realisations of "Hey, there's a Tempest cab in MY house!" followed shortly by "Ooooh, I'd better have a quick go then!"

Fucking lovely

... very happy and appreciative Yakkie here

...

Fucking *hell* I love this place

... I'll keep saying it again and again... thank you all SO much for such a beautiful thing

The big ups go to the people who gave so generously to this project. I just did a bit of money management and some surreptitious emailing, laced with dreadful promises of what would happen to the person who let it leak that we were planning something.

I regret that not everyone was given the chance to make a contribution but we were constrained by access to current e-addresses and the need to keep the whole thing quiet

We must not overlook the work put in by Archer Maclean in getting the cab into such gorgeous condition. Aware that it was intended for a true afficionado, he seems to have spared no quarter in carrying out a near perfect restoration.

No less that you deserve, Yak

Near perfect?

I'm no expert in these things but I can't see a flaw in it anywhere

Now this is why I keep coming back to this place

Just wish I could have been a part of this in its inception

I wondered if Archer was involved. Nice one Sir!
