It works, I'm so happy!

Loads quickly, doesn't have any irritating flash animation on the front page. Works for me....

there you go. Engineer's solution. Quick, cheap, & gets right to the nub of it.

Put it another way, you're 'showing them' before you tell them.

I'm still with the 'dated' look though. Not enough to be retro (hmm), but sufficient to be a bit of a turn off. Maybe I'm being a bit sensitive but it kind of feels like if Boon did websites it'd have been like this. (BTW I adored Boon).

Girlie POV. When I 1st told her she laughed & said something about having a monochrome look to the front page on a site called 'dash of colour' was really post ironic. But then again she's been reading clever books again. Then she had a wee peek. Might be useful to know that her father restores old cars & she's been around cars for a longtime. She say 'looks like really skilled work, artistic & the site isn't communicating this.' Agrees about colour, muttered something about, 'sorry, but a bit boring'. Piccies change too fast.

I'm really not trying to knock it-just want it to work for you. And only our opinions too.

First impressions, also spotted the irony with the monochrom/dash of colour thing. Also, the pictures of your work need to be of a much higher quality and need to be clickable so I can see close up what I'm about to blow a not insignificant amount of cash on. Not keen on that hover over thing for the pics, it's annoying, just have a gallery of thumbnails that link to full size, high res pictures so I can see that the bikes aren't covered in wrinkles or orange peeling.

That's lovely, feels like to get a free cigar and glass of port with every order.
