Nick Woods Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Superb *thumbup* I'd love to get a 7 or a 21 for Sharon so we can each take one of the kids with us. All she needs to do is go back to work and earn the money - and all I need to do is hope she doesnt read this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballast Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Mav.....we will see about Anglesey!!!....but you never know..... Boonie..... 😬...I could change my name....but I've grown quiet attached to it....and at the moment I can't think of an appropriate replacement!!!! Polite suggestions welcome!! BB....I've got to get the 21 on the black stuff first.....the 21 was an insurance uneconomic repair write-off (fibre glass damage in a spin) and therefore under new law before I can get the V5 for it (and therefore tax it) I have to put it through a VIC i.e. a Vehicle Identity Check (to ensure that the isn't a ringer and the car that came off the road is the same as the one going back on)....it may take two weeks or so to get an appointment etc so until then I shall be doing polishing tweaking and more polishing!!! Relatively safe pass times...I think... 😬 Rach.....I think a bike engine would suit you ....the engine whine would be similar to a Harrier Pegasus engine roar!!!! I will await the happy news!!

Ballast Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Actually I thought that the "21 thumb salute" sounded interesting!!! 😬 😬 😬 😬 BOO..... I have taken BB's example just "delurked" on the 21s List .....that'll scare 'em....I've lurked there for the last 8 months!! [thinks] I wonder if The Sheds is like Girl Guides and I can get a nice Lurking Badge to sew on my L7C hat??!!![/thinks] [Twiddles thumbs...but only 2.....not as skilled as Mister Toad..only learning...perhaps I can get a badge in that as well??] Right thats the end of work....I'm going home to check that the car is still there!!!

c21vhpd Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 We're not so easily scared, Ballast 😬 In fact, when I get out from behind the sofa (car backfired outside, thought I was going to get shot) I'm even thinking about doing something very very brave. I don't know what yet, but I'm sure it will be heroic. It's dark outside though, so it may have to wait, as you can't see the monsters when it is dark, except for their glowing red eyes... Hope to see XTC on the road v v soon In the meantime... I think the shed should benefit from your piccies misty not so misty SEE YA SATURDAY!!!
