Yea i was ntthat fussed,

but spent a bit of time last night cleaning it and 2day fitted 2 tyres as the front were fucked, wasnt till i drove the fucker and relised that all it needs is a Good YB in it to pretty much complete,

Think its the looks that it gets and the fact replacing it with a cheap toy that wont get as much looks that is Pi$$ing me off.

I bought a Opel Kadett GTE (same as Mk1 Astra ) 1 off only 5 Kadett GTE's left in the UK, I had one 10 years ago when i first passed my test and always wanted another.

Gonna use it for going back and forth to work.

Ha Ha...... And there she was.... so prim and proper.

Flat A, 81 Menzies Road

I used to work with him when I was off-shore working for P&O Shipping, I did Security, he was a leckie. Little Fat F-cker with glasses, probably still working on ships...by the name of Tony Shearer, and my ex was a Philippina by the name of Mel, she was a nurse.

Can't be that many Philippina birds in that neck of the woods.

Give them my regards if you see them.

That would really scare the shit out of him

Just say "Jim send his regards.........you just missed him" ...Lol
