It's the disused Warrington Transporter Bridge at Bank Quay:

It's a Toyota MR2 Mk1 rally car that comes in regularly for four wheel alignment on our Hunter Alignment centre.

Cool. So it used to span the Mersey River? Who sang that song in the '60's 'Ferry cross the Mersey' ... Dave Clark 5?, maybe it was Gerry and the Pacemakers ... But I digress .....

Wishing you guys the best today. Weather looks ok. I'm so upset that I haven't been able to organize things to be able to get down there. May the next build.
Regards.

Default Speedy's Home!
Well just over 7 months ago, I took my very standard 993 Cabrio into 9M and today returned home in her! Thanks to you all for the fantastic enthusiasm regarding my Winter project - I woke up nice and early this morning, despite being out last night til 'quite late', and thanks to a pal of mine, arrived after midday to collect my latest 'toy'.
First rendition for you to enjoy - more to follow I promise!

Even looks good with the roof up!

A massive thanks to 9M the Ninemeister, especially Marc, who has devoted the last 7 months of his life in creating this master piece.

Absolutely gorgeous! Must feel great to finally have her home. Time for a long and well-overdue drive.

Cheers guys - clocked up 120 miles this afternoon! The clouds have just really darkened, and I'm sure I hear thunder in the distance!
Wouldn't want to have to put the roof up in a hurry!

Now safely put away for the night with the its British stablemate!
