Last i heard it was still sat at home in the garage.

Think he was getting really fed up with it, scratches and that on the new paint.

Scott, sorry can't make this weekend, Paula's brother was involved in a gas main explosion, and is in hospital in Bristol, currently driving back and forth every day, so all our time is taken up with this, as you know Paula lost her youngest brother 3 years ago, and she's going through a tough time at the moment.

no need to validate mate, i thought back to that as soon as i read the 1st line.

Ur place is with Paula mate... my car is just that .... ONLY a car. Hope Paula (and yourself) are baring up. Wish her brother a speedy recovery if he's well enough to listen. If not, then i'll wish him better silently.

All the best Simon,

Scott
