I dont think your sad Andy, you enjoy shark fishing and BX's and they give you a bit of a break from other things in your life. So when you can't get to Cornwall to fish you need a BX to play with

light travels faster than sound, thats why you look intelligent and then you spoil it all by opening your mouth !!!!!

Got too many though Mick.
However, as cold as it is outside at the moment, a lot of work to do on Gloria today.
Found a big patch of rust on the underside where she has been innapropriately jacked up in the past and this must be sorted today. Had this problem in zackly the same place on the TZD.
Maybe i should start a blog on my BXs.

That's a great idea - I love reading about the work being done by other people on their cars, as I pick up tips for some of the jobs I need to do. It's also a comfort to know I'm not the only one!

im not going to be able to take this car on, for at least a couple of months, she's certainly worth saving and too good to brake, and very, very Rare!! so, someone give her a good home..... [-o<
