ive been busted....secrets out

Post by Paul Hayward » 27th November 2010 - 12:02pm

:lol: .well after selling Fudge i always regretted it....and saw Goldmember 412 auto for sale up in scotland....tried not to look but after a few hours sent off a message to Jim The owner....then tried to forget!.......No Takers and my offer was not accepted....then there was talk about the car being broken up for spares :(

Sent off one more email and we secured the sale.all good apart from one thing !..i didnt know how to tell my wife :paranoid: .......been on my mind for weeks so i told her yesterday :ninja:

actually went pretty well!...Shawn i wont need to kip in your shed :thumbsup: ......She has however said i need to sell one of the toys!....i have told her no cars will sell till at least the summer .... :thumbsup: ....will have to get her to drive the squareback and the 412 loads so she falls in love with them both and wants to keep all of them 8) ...its a investment for the future Katherine i tell her :D

Think this is my last dodged bullet......The Fleet is safe for a while longer 8)

Cant wait For the 412 to be delivered down to me so i can finish putting the thing back together :D

It's never easy hiding things from the wife. I'm glad Goldies going to a good home, unfortunately I couldn't justify keeping another car with all the space issues at the moment. Still the bugs safe for now

Better outin the open now than when it arrives on the driveway as I don't think she would have believed the Fairies bought it for you

snowy here!

Post by kembiff » 29th November 2010 - 6:27pm

This is not the weather to get your new car in.

Really struggled to work today in my beetle - but I do love passing all the stranded posh 4x4 cars that didnt make it!!

Here's poor old fudge today (with my bay window in the background)!

and my trusty bug

Car port would be great but I share the drive with nextdoors plus it can be like a wind tunnel through there. What I need to do is rebuild the (asbestos!) garage higher, longer & wider to fit the bus in. Then I can move everything back a vehicle length and a shelter of somekind could be viable down there. But can you imagine what it would be like clearing out the garage first! Not a job I could do in a weekend!
