Racingshoe Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi Gambo, i've not seen too much of you lately but that's been down to my own personal circumstances. Sorry to see your car go - i've only ever seen it once though (mind you, how often does mine make it out of the garage?? ) Hope to see you soon to hear about what you're going to get instead of the 7 Rik Robarts - the future's bright, the future's orange here Edited by - Racingshoe on 22 May 2008 11:07:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad though, welled up a bit when the trailer dissapeared.BIg wuss that I am. Never mind, she was built for pleasure, she'll give terry a lot i'm sure. Off the shops for retail therapy.
