Never mind!!!

I will work some magic later on tonight and see about winging my long winded entry into this one here, just for you andy, seeing as you went through the effort so late at night!!!

By the way buddy, you could have included colours of all you cars too.

Hw old are ya Hugh???
You've had some motors there. Chevette etc.......

 

[Hugh]

Early 40's, I used to run sheds as road cars, so every year or so I would go and get a new one out of the paper. I used to carry some spares and spanners and only once had to be taken home, Mini 1000, cutch centre had sheard.

 

[Dave Brennun]

You remind me of what me dad used to be like LOL!

 

[Hugh]

It used to be good fun running sheds me and several mates all did it because we were also running rally cars. We used to crash into each other at the traffic lights get out and pretend to fight, roll about then get up shake hands and drive off. The best was on a market day, crashed into mate, he revs up and reverses into me, I have a go back, then lights green and we just drove off slowly BSM style. I keyed my own car once because a couple of the lads in work had had theirs done at the weekend; I felt a bit left out They had BMW, XR3i's nice cars so I did my chevette on the way home from the pub....
