The Sollerskate Series – Chapter Two

I signed off the first instalment of my Honda Del Sol story with the line “I shall try not to leave it so long until the next update”.

This is especially aimed at those of you who don’t know me personally, or have only known me for a short time, but may be just as interesting for those that do, acting as a reminder of past endeavours you may have forgotten. This post, as with the bulk posts to come no doubt, will revolve around one thing, and one thing only… Cars.
