I'm sure this wont worry Pete, he will be waiting for the DVLA "last chance" letter. And he will simply whip his tights off to fashion an adequate fan belt, he told me he always wears them for that reason alone :D

Good luck Pete!!

I have just docked in my lovely 325 convertible after a minor technical glitch :)


Big up to Barry and Trevor for coming and laughing at me / rescuing me in ,my hour of need. It was all a bit council .

I will be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to check the LSD is still fitted, I will have trouble sleeping , the suspense is killing me ! :)

when purchasing a known pedigree steed, I always leave in a rush.... a quick check that 2 nice black lines were left on the OP's road always helps me gain a good nights sleep :D

I was f*cking freezing. So council............

Still lucky I had 2 spare M20 drive belts swinging on a nail in the garage. Add that to the portable fragging tool kit / Barry on the greasy bits and Pete was back on his way to the west. All that was left for Pete and I to do was take the p1ss out of Barrys Snap On mong hat and sip hot Wild Bean beverages! :wink:

We should have took pictures!!!!!

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Pete beat me fair and square to this one. If I hadn't been at work when the car hit the market, it would have been on my drive now. But alls fair in love and war :D

Should have told him to walk home last night! :wink:

The important thing is that the cream puff has been rescued and that it has gone to a good home. It is in good hands :D
