his is a photograph I took in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1961. It's a 1929 Bentley Speed Six with a 6-cylinder inline 6½ litre engine. 544 of these vehicles were produced between 1926 and 1930 and this one is chassis number BA2584, engine number BA2581 and is fitted with four-seated touring body by Hunt.
Although I do not support any of the teams Gary Speed has played for in his distinguished footballing career, the sudden news of his death came as a big shock to me, as he is a model pro universally respected by fans of every club.
"I like that one."
"That one? With the rust?"
"It'll clean up."
"And the mismatched engines, and the missing panels across most all of the thing?"
"Pretty sure the engines are a pair, just... yeah, it'll need some work. But you're looking at what it is, not what it could be."
"What I'm looking at is a deathtrap."
"Glass is always half empty with you, huh?"
"This glass is shattered and in pieces, lad. In fact, you'll note the lack of a cockpit canopy at all, glass or otherwise."
"Look, you've got to start somewhere. And why not here?"
"Hey, it's your decision in the end. Your credits. I just don't want it to be your firey death."
"You're all heart, old-timer. I think we can make it work."
"You think I can make it work. Still, I said I'd be your mechanic, so I guess I'd better prove I've still got the touch when it comes to racers."
"And I'll show you I can pilot them."
So this was a pretty quick build, it may well be that some kind of racing speeders will form the next display I do. I wanted to try a narrative of sorts with this, starting from a junkyard scrapper, and gradually improving and refining until we get something sleek and advanced.
In terms of the build itself I've tried to go as greebly as I can for exposed engine bits, and fresh off my ADU builds I've put those spoiler parts back to work as intakes. Nothing hugely complicated here, but I'm satisfied with the skeletal appearance and think that it came out alright. Plenty of room to iterate on this.
I was trying to keep it as small as possible, it's about 18ish studs wide and long, so hopefully I'll be able to fit builds of that/similar size into this year's SHIP, which I'm envisioning as something of a mobile home/workshop/garage such as one might find on a Star Wars-inspired racing circuit series.
(I think I just want to build something that looks like a LMH/LMdH prototype racer but in space. Honestly, the Ferrari 499P already looks like a spaceship that just happens to have wheels!)

Neils 365 biking challenge finds him doing laps at the Burnaby Velodrome

Went skiing again on Sunday (just two days after going on Friday) because Austin *REALLY* wanted to go. Travus had other plans, so Chizuko had to stay back with him.
Am most happy that my youngest is as hyperactive as I am and can't stand the thought of being motionless.
Title of this pic comes from one of the Staff that was operating a chairlift. As we were getting on the lift he said: "Here comes Speed Racer" (in reference to Austin)...
...and he was a Speed Racer, as I gave up around Noon, but let him continue up the chairlift on his own (by himself on the chair) for another hour as he didn't want to leave when I was done.
