Hey Tim! Did you win the car in Tonteg? Awesome dude...I insist we get together somehow/where! If you need anything in advance give us a shout otherwise we'll ponder over your motor and have a beer close by!!

Oh...wait, is Arctic coming too!? Mmmm :-k :-k He's under the illusion I'm buying lunch so best tie him up and leave him in the boot!!

Are you coming down next Sunday then??

Bang on - that's the exact place I thought it'd be! :lol: I'll pop down there in a bit and see if I can see anything. :D

If, as it looks like there will be, there's a meeting of like minds in the locality, would it be OK if I popped along to show off the new motor and meet some of you?

:lol: :lol: :lol: Hmmm. I choose to ignore that prior instruction. :lol: :wink:

Well, I didn't manage to find the car - must be tucked up in a driveway away from the road somewhere - but a guy from Tonteg who drives a white 1.1-litre Fiesta with an RS Turbo sticker on the back has just found out that his 'RS Turbo' can quite easily be embarrassed by a bearded bloke in a BX turbodiesel. :lol:

Oh, and yes Ian, It is chain driven, gearbox in sump lump. Not the sweetest engine on earth, but..... they seem to last well.

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Of course I was only kidding Capri!! Just me SOH gone into warped mode!! I am very happy for you all to visit my house and have refreshments/use the toilet/wash my cars/mow the lawn etc if that suits anybody...I am about 3 - 4 miles west of Tonteg. There is also a decent pub enroute to the M4 which serves ale for the beardies and good food.

Charlie has a golden robe and woven beard.....Charlie weaves his beared into his pubic hair and busks on his vintage 'thatchin',
unbelievers, you dare mock the sacred stuff, the trap has been set, blood will flow, all shall be cursed, including those with beards, shaving will not help...

for once you cross over into the magical land of sheep and mystical bxs you are lost, lost you hear me, lost forever....

be forewarned, on the sabbath the sight of a bus is rare, do not mock the gods and bus drivers cause we dont half shout at lot...
