    Could have been worse, could have been a house :D.

    Come on, spill the beans :). Can't wait to hear the [STRIKE]excuses[/STRIKE] story :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    How to do photos has been explained by gg to me in the past , however I was still too stupid to manage it :o

    Eric is settled in nicely , we got home yesterday in the end. The guy knocked off another £50 as the mot was a few weeks shorter than he thought. I doubt if Eric will get through the mot anyway as he needs a bit of work.

    I have to say I feel as if I've got a new pet not a car, I couldn't stop grinning all the way home, I feel like a teenager again :D

    This weekend is for cleaning up the house and washing , and then cleaning Eric up inside and out as he had been sat outside a riding school unused for a little while so he is a bit grubby.

    Still need to sort the finances too and work out how to pay for him :eek:
