Julia

i would do but unfortunatley the RS has been giving me greif for the last 18months with the booger not starting so is in need of lots of love and attention to get it back to the level in the pics, it does go but needs to be set up and the loom sorted out. and t

and bouley cruising aint my thing

if you wana come out and have a look no bother. pm me and we can sort it out!

No need to be picky - Anywhere North of Perth is in the hills.

More like 8-10hrs to the tip from Aberdeen, the traffic there sucks.

Driven the A9 lately ?? Lots and lots of Hills.

As Elgin is above Avimore I may as well consider myself to be a Hillbilly. Do you consider yourself to be a CitySlicker ????

As for how old.... as old as you feel.....I'm 37 and enjoy life.

Thank You Julia

Always like to have fun and enjoy myself. ( and thats sometimes difficult in Elgin )

Age is only a number..... how you feel and what you do is what matters.

Will bring the car to the beach one day..
