Hiya Col,

Not quite as stunning as your OrangeMorphic;drool,drool:drool4:

Great pictures John, have you finished installing the wine rack in the boot yet ? ;) :D

Nice pics John. I think our cars crossed last week. I was up in the Lakes for the week and in the Workington area on the 25th. I just got a brief glimpse of your car but can't remember exactly where. I was in Whitehaven for a while taking some photos in the harbour then we drove up to Workington to have a look at the new bridge.

Hi John,
Car looks stunning but so it should the time you wear the cloth out cleaning it wish I had your patience.
Did you resolve the 'T' piece leak that Brian patched up for you at Longbidge meet?
Best regards to you and Janet.

Barry

Jan said you can ring her anytime Barry, just let her get her phone into position first ;) :D

:D:D:D:D:D:getmecoat:

in my home town and the town I work and you didn't come and say hello?? We could of had a mini mini meet!

I wish I'd thought of it as I've decided I don't like the gear knob you fitted for me - you could have changed it back again. ;):getmecoat:

I was actually staying down in Eskdale. The trip up north was only a spur of the moment thing because the weather wasn't too good.

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/fredds...44410278482994

Hi Dave,

Lovely pics John and the car looks immaculate. Be good to see you and the car at the next north west meet.

Nice car John, and some great pics.. :) (I saw your car at Gretna). :)

You obviously live in a very picturesque area, would you be so kind as to take a couple of pics of say, the harbour, with your car in the background, rather than the forefront?

My reasoning is, I love landscapes, but don't particularly want pics of cars on my walls, so this year, i am going to try to get some really nice landscapes and make my own calender up.. :}

If, by "chance", ;) there happens to be a 75 (or MG) somewhere in the background, so much the better innit.. :D :D :D

Personaly I think it would be a nice theme for this years club calender, but that's for the powers that be to decide innit.. :}

Hi James,

Hi Ronnie,

Many thanks for your nice words,do you mean Jan,or the motor?lol,not so many thanks for the reminder,havent got over the shock yet,only joking:getmecoat:

You have me puzzled!cant remember being over your end recently,unless you mean last weekend at Brians meet Eden Camp,we will have to have another meet soon,getting withdrawal symptoms.

Best Regards.

John.

Sorry John,thought the pics of Bowes were recent :shrug: My mistake.Anyway, i,m having a drive to the Lakes soon cos i,m getting withdrawal symptoms,havn.t been anywhere for 2 weeks!:)

Let me know if you decide to pop over this way,could try and meet up for a minuuuuuute micro meet,unless you can tempt Colin out of hiding,havent heard from him for ages,or try and brush the remnants of that cold off Fred,you can always shove him in your boot along with that tree you got from Holker.

BTW the pic was taken at Bowes, when we went to the Fathers Day meet at Harewood House.

John.

Ahh right.Waiting to hear from Col about some shows up here we,re going to,but as yet,all quiet on the western front!As for Fred,sent him a PM & awaiting reply.:shrug: Let you know when i,m over there:)

Thank you John.. :).

Dont want to sound too perdantic,well I do really:):)shouldnt that, for you two,or even three, be the Eastern Front:getmecoat:running for cover.

he does not drive it he beams it into position

He must do, I mean I keep mine clean but just look at that

I think you wrap your car in cling film John, and only expose it to the elements for photo shoots and meets :)

Marker? Map? but how on earth do you expect me to be mysterious if everyone knows where I am?:D:D

The car's doing just fine now thanks John, You'd hardly know it ever happened:D

I should see you soon but all the best to you & Jan mate
