Re: The Chat Thread

Isn't it just! Is everyone hungover or has the weather just depressed people so much they just haven't got up today?

Re: The Chat Thread

So it would seem. Mrs C told me last night that it was ******ing it down (at home in NE England) and that they were saying localised flooding today! And here's me wanting to go home

Suppose home is where the heart is, as opposed to where the sun is, but then again...

Re: The Chat Thread

Send you a Spider? bit big to ship.
I'll be sure and bring the sun, we did without it all winter/winter-spring/ but now that summer is finally here we've had almost 2 weeks of sunshine. we were all wet before.

A run sounds good, might do that

See good suggestion, deserves a reward, 1 little spider would suffice...

Nice idea! Reminds me of a car my Dad once bought. We had several military vehicles when I was a lad (Dad was a proper pertrol head - he's now 72 and has had 172 cars ). Anyway - he had bought a kubelwagen which we'd renovated and then bougt a Schwimmwagen which was the amphibious version of the Kubel. The Schwimm had suffered from that famous WWII problem - i.e. it had been shot at and bullet holes and amphibious vehicles really dont mix . Just as well we tested it (by basically filling it with water) before we tried floating her

Happy Days

Hi CG

Dead right we never knew one day to the next what he'd come home in. He even had a Jag SS100 which he sold for £400 when my mother couldnt get her bump (with my eldest brother) under the dash! Saw one fo for £250,000 last year

He had an Alfa Spider (70's model) that was knackered and sat in a lock up for years. I was able to drive at the time but had no interest in it . God how I wish I could turn the clock back
