Duane, I would like to agree with you, BUT :-
Having recently discovered that a mere 200 Motorsports entered these shores, Folie de Grandeur has me firmly in its grip, and I intend to buy some blue duct tape for patching my seat cover.
Regardless of expense.

Ah, Gertrude's new abode looks very comfortable, Sunbeem. And I like what you have done with the once-collapsed wall.
I had to look up folie de grandeur. Having found that it means 'delusions of grandeur' or 'megalomania' I intend to find a use for it this week. I'll let you know how I get on. I was thinking it might refer to 'grand folly' in the architectural sense - something that always gets a grin out of me. Not enough of that sort of thing these days, I think you'll agree.

I think our cities are full of 'grand folly ' ,just not in the amusing sense unfortunately .

Delusions of grandeur. Now there's something I can relate to.

Hang on a minute Doug.
What width blue tape Sunbeem?

I can endorse http://www.gorillaglue.com/tapes.aspx as an excellent upholstery material, having used it for a complete seat on Betty, my winter /5.

Edit: Unfortunatly I don't see it available in blue.

What about Diane, she will be very jealous.

Wait a minute 'Beem...you're telling us that rather than trash the old reliable, seen many miles on with my arse "original" seat that you will merely use the blue duct tape to return it to functional use?

Rather then spend the gazillion $$$ for a "period correct" masterpiece for the throne? My god...your're my kinda guy
