The cars of course, I've got so many of the prizes they feel a bit meaningless now days.

With that level of knowledge you could compete with the beige hive mind, the 21st century equivalent of the Oracle of Delphi and about as useful.

The Noble owners were about the only ones not to do showboat exits, I can't see that meet being on too many times if they carry on like that tbh, it's a 30mph stretch that they love to put a speed trap on as it is.

The vans done, didn't get a shot of it painted up due to various reasons. One being that we were made late as there was a very sad trip to the vets just beforehand as Jess the stone deaf wire haired Jack Russel got put to sleep :cry:

This meant the owner of the van got to witness his van getting put back on the floor, that wasn't part of the plan :lol: He's happy enough with it anyway which is the main thing. I've sent him links to Bilthamber S50 and UB. I left the pop rivet holes and have asked him to get some blind grommets to fill them. I could have done it with weld but it'd have diveted them to fuck if I had as they stand they are completely straight with zero warpage.

Sorry to hear about Jess, we've got two JRs, they're a lovely breed.

I've had two JR. My mother took them to be put down. I just couldn't do it. My first one was 17 and the last one was 15.

She had a good run, she was 15. Something all of a sudden stopped her movement 😐 Still had appetite, all the cogs were turning but she wasn't getting better. The little bugger would start yapping if I got there in the morning and walked by without fussing her first. You couldn't want for a better one tbh.
Watching his two dogs out together was always an unusual sight. Jess got tied to Bronze to get round the deafness issue 🙂

It's such a tough decision to make but sometimes it's just got to be done. I'd love a dog but they don't suit my lifestyle. I had a cat of nearly 15 years till last Xmas. She went missing after a fracas in my place and was never seen again. I've had dreams about her over the last 6 months, I never remember my dreams but these have been vivid :cry:
Part of the family after all.

Same here, repeatedly.

I think we rationalise it as they're rescue dogs and deserve a home.
