"Arms that can only lift a spoon, everyones gone to the moon" sung Jonathan King in his rise to mediocrity in 1965. Except his arms were lifting shirts of underage boys not spoons, leading to 5 yrs of nonceness at Her Maj's pleasure for his meanderings.*
Which has nowt to do with the fact that all the movers and shakers of the vintage custom world are off to Yokohama for the Mooneyes show this weekend leaving us to sit at home promising ourselves that we really will go next year.
* JK is currently appealing, though not if that photo is anything to go by. Even if he's found innocent it wont stop him being a twat.

One of several Porsches from Belgium

Local man Warren Philliskirk finished 15th.
Steve Perez finally finished the event in his wonderful Stratos.
