your have to come stay with me pete next time you come over

was looking at going may time,but just cant afford to then
so we will proberly set a date for early august ( maybe the 10th, my birthday )
wouldn't mind, just payed out Ł42,533.19 at a rate of 2.35 and its only just bloody gone up to 2.39 so would have only cost me Ł41,841

car will be going to an older driver,so might have a quieter life for her, even if he does more miles than me,they will be softer miles,lol

anyway i still have my trusty pinto sapp
ps , i think i upset the sapp on the way home last night when it spat out oil out of the rocker gasket on the m25,quick clean and 6k seemed to clear it

Mate it isnt the 60's where people get on a boat and the only form of correspondence is snail mail. Flights are 500-600quid return and people normally return for famliy things (weddings/funerals etc). World is a much smaller place now than 50 years ago

Has taken you long enough Pops. I dont get up to Sydney much but should make a point of it. Last time was 2002 new year.

My performance path will be Jap I think. Have spent many months considering and am leaning to the 33 GTR.
