You SNEAKY one you!

I am so glad that you found someone at the painters - I was dissappointed that he did not answer the phone :(

I was there this morning, and he will fit the mirror pins for you - some more grovvelling :) But for you - the world!!!

The hood lining has been ordered - by the roll - and will be on it's way soon!! :hangloose:

Dubster.....can you take one of the pictures of Rosie and do a magic paint shop to show the end result in a nice setting or is that loads of work?

Hey there Dutch, aka, "Frankie Boy",

I was back at the pannel shop today and with a little luck and a whole lot of grovvelling.... your "BABY ROSIE" should be back at the shop for Saturday!!!! :hangloose:

I am driving the poor painter "INSANE" :twisted: - not quite sure when he is going to kick me off of his premises - I go there BEFORE work every day :evil:
Time he got the job done - We have interiors waiting to be fittet and all, and all :wink:

Are you bringing new friends on saturday :?: Just need to know how much "Brekky" to bring with :?: And Juice for the kindergarden! Should I organise a jumping castle and a clown with balloons, so you guys have more time to chat :lol:

Hey Dutch,

If Jurgen gets the car on Monday, it could be put together in 5 Days. That means you will have it in Hermanus.

Looks like there is a Aircooled commitee meeting at Jurgens WS this Saturday.

What time and Address?

Esme, Let's keep our figures crossed.....I'm bringing Mo too as she needs a little work and I have managed to get the parts from the UK now. Darcie's not coming on Saturday so hold the bouncy castle.

I didn't plan to bring anyone but looks like Tom might be coming. Directions.....

1) Drive down the N2 through the Somerset West and Strand area (all the robots).
2) Go through the roadworks that start at the bridge
3) Go past the New BP station on the N2 by the township
4) At the next robot (Monkey town on left and Merc truck garage on right) turn Right
5) That first left and then right at the top of the road. You are in an industrial estate by the way
6) Jurgen's shop is on the left about half way down this road....everyone so far has driven to the end
7) I'm usually there from 9am to 10:30ish
8) Let Esme know if you want a breakfast roll so that you don't take MINE! :evil:

Hey Dutch..tried to phone you but no luck.
I had a little accident with your vase at Jurgens :oops:
I'll try to get a new one but I'm pretty good with super glue and you won't notice the crack as I will paint it to.
Once again, sorry mate :oops:
You can never have enough Garages :-(

I have also mailed my brother in the UK, My unkle in USA and my very good friend in Germany to look for one for me :oops:

I promise that I will make this up to you - just not quite sure how :?:
