We were going out to dinner on Christmas Day.So I started to get ready as us girls take more time than you boys do.Could I find him any where :roll: no.I knew where he'd be so I got the camera and went down to the garage,and was I right? They say the camera never lies.

He had not spotted me then but....

Caught red handed.... winkeye
But I had to forgive him because he'd brought me some lovely pressie.
Did anyone else's other half surprise them this Christmas? and with what.
So where his he now? :roll: you have guessed right.
He looks on the Zone from time to time but I bet it will take him awhile to notice this thread as he is always in the garage.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

JAN & ROY

Tut tut, you should be able to tell just looking at the door, not the fact it's LHD and has an M3 instrument binnacle!

I believe it's Roy's B6 3.5S

He's around somewhere,came into watch the football,had his dinner,now taking a shower.Just looked through his pictures and this is what he's doing at the moment,this is how dirty is was underneath,cleans it with a scrubing brush and a toothbrush to bring it back to new,has found a few more bits to weld but I know he is going to start a thread soon, start to finish,but he wants to get it done so he can start putting it back together again.There's still along way to go it he wanted it finished for Billing,but he's doing it on his own.he's mate helps out now and again with the welding.I just keep him going with cups of coffee. :roll:

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
Hi Adam,I have done the back end on two of our other cars when I put the poly bushes in and they were colour coded as well,so I would imagine they all are.
Pal318,Yes I'm lucky as Jan loves the E30's as much as I do. :D
BM Bloke,already got the next project lined up when I finish this one but it could be a year at the earlest.I've got a 325 in my lock up that I'm going to do euro style but that's another story. winkeye
AndyP,where have you been hiding winkeye
Someone said that you were at Gaydon but that you came on your motorbike I did look for you,how are you mate?
Simon13,I do try to get one here once or twice aweek to see how you all are and what is happening but I don't get the time to post as often as I'd like too.
See you all in the new year at some meet or other
ROY

Well Andboy... since the wife was working lastnight i had no opportunity to go out & celebrate with copius amounts of alcohol.

What i did do however was, take some night time photo's using light as a theme. The Audi just happened to be one of those themes.

With posting a statement such as 'Real Audi's have 'UR Quattro' on the V5 mate', then you should expect the following comment in return...

Real BMW's have 'M' on the V5 mate :wink:

Anyways, its my signature pic winkeye
