I think the word to describe it is "vicarious" - other people in "my" syndicate are doing the hard yards, and I am wandering past from time to time, with my hands in my pockets. Perhaps the proper role of a consultant.

My car restoration syndicate
Some photos below of our car restoration project. It is an Armstrong Siddeley Whitley, 1951 18HP model.

Wow, I’m impressed with the progress, David. The car’s really starting to look sleek! If I may digress a bit, what was the overall condition of the car before you started with the project? And did you have a difficult time finding parts? Wishing you and your syndicate success!

I’m so envious! I wish can put my hands on a vintage car like that Armstrong Siddeley Whitley! When that happens, I will make sure to restore every detail that it has, and make it beautiful as new. I’m hoping your restoration project will be a success! Keep us posted on the progress of your car!
