Japan Meets Britain

[e3steve]

Thanks Jensen -- always good to read your comments, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Team Netherlands in the World Cup. Geez, what if they meet Germany in the finals? That would be too weird......

A little off-topic (love the attention to detail on the customisation, Vince) but it's now España vs Holandia el domingo! IMO Germany deserved to win last night, (and I know JS about soccer!), but I'm pleased that Spain made it through, all the same.

Hi Steve

Are you Spanish or English, Steve ?
I think you had a great party yesterday.

Well, I'm not that heroic and neither a nationalist, but it would be nice to see the world go orange,

Found this chrome piece at Mid-Ohio over the weekend. It's stamped 'Stanley D-2R' and I think it was originally meant for a Black Bomber (it mounts behind that alloy backing plate).

Anyone seen this piece before???

Hi Vince,

Yes, I have one of these on my 1965 bomber.

Is yours chrome? This one was actually rechromed (by Ronnie Brown, believe it or not!), and I got it for $10, so I thought that was pretty good.

Nice little touch, I think, and I might end up chroming that backing plate so that it all matches.

There and back again.....

Hi Vince,

Yes, it's chrome, need a picture ? (to prove it ?), just kidding,
, tonight I will make a picture of it, and place it here.

The 1965 Bomber comes from the US, I've never seen this kind if taillight on European models, actually, I have not seen one before until you showed that picture.
