I was sitting in it earlier listening to aerosmith sweet emotion, foghat slow ride, war lowrider etc and reading an old cccuk mag from 2014. Really interesting articles.

I'm no photographer but I thought this was a good shot with the autumn leaves in the background.

Yes,
just do not become a "Waxer" James. That is bad !
I have used the same polish since 1980s on all my Corvettes
Should be able to find it on Amazon for UK
but USA
Liquid Glass
Notice further down that page that also make a pre cleaner if needing to take off the flat paint look
Was first designed for use on airplanes to keep the surface slick and for fiberglass like boats and Corvettes
Wash C3, then not being in sun put 1 coat on, let sit for like 15 minutes (can do the whole car at once)
Then buff off.
Then let sit in sun for like 3 hours and polish will bake on and smooth out any swirl marks
Could then out a second coat on and when done be a mirror finish and paint color will look brighter
Repels dirt, bugs, oil, etc
Can be used inside and outside of windows
My 1999 gets just one coat on a year and in 22 years with all the racing and road crap the paint still looks new

I'd really like some florida plates but I'd probably get pulled over and given points or whatever. Not much freedom these days.

I think the only polish like LG that was given a license by GM to use on the label
Very common to hear about people using LG for decades

Your post about James's Vette intrigued me Frank - so looked back at it, and yes there's some 'trick' bits and pieces going on there - I'm guessing the most significant one is the Dart heads - It'll be interesting to know more about the other mod's in more detail. James, your 'humble' 270 hp 350 cu in could well be producing a few more ponies than you realise

Certainly James's local sceptic!

I think most of the neighbours are fed up at the noise.

Where I live no one makes any comment or complaint about noisy engines - from the neighbouts Ferrari Pizza/Pissa, the Maserati Quatroporte with switchable exhaust 1/4 mile up the road that sounds like its next door.........the only person who complains is the next door neighbours 40 something non-car driving son who for some reason only seems to be concerned about my car.........perhaps its his having to catch all the ornaments vibrating off the mantlepiece and display shelves that worries him.....?
