Good Morning Boys!!!

Just a quick update - "Rosie" is looking PERRRFECT :lol:

Missed you at Brekky this morning Dutch, but we did have an interesting visit from Muds - bought some bits and pieces :twisted:

I will keep you posted as to when exactly "Rosie" is back in the shop - so we can get her interior under control :wink:

I am talking but work has been crazy having arguments with the boss, trying to find a new job whilst still having to run this one.

I really hope that Rosie is back and looking good as I could really do with the good news and really looking forward to the satisfying part of reconstruction. I also need to find time to call CIP as the order on the 2nd Oct for Mo's bits is still in processing and not shipped.

Pictures on Saturday all finger crossed and I think Chris will also be coming for brekky!

Hey there Dutch!

Do I have a surprise for you :lol:

"Rosie" is coming back to the shop tomorrow & she is looking BEAUTIFULL :hangloose:

I can't wait for you to see her - at last :)

When I went to the painter today and did a BIG inspection - he asked me if I would like a magnifying glass - my reply - "RATHER ME THAN THE CLIENT - BRING THE MAGNIFYING GLASS!!!!!" :twisted:

Look forward to seeing you Saturday - I wil bring SPECIAL brekky, as I do think this one needs celebrating :drunks:

So great news to be had.....Bobbie is back! I know yet another name change but Mrs D :flash: decided that she didn't like Rosie and it was obviously a bad name due to the bad luck so agreement to re-christen her!

Welcome "Bobbie", long my this name last.

Anyway, back to the story......she's back from the painters and looks stunning. Reconstruction has really started too. The upholster was in yesterday and today fitting the roof lining so that Jurgen can fit the glass asap. Then we can work on all the interior without worry of it getting damaged.

It was great for Bobbie to get a welcome and a few forum members made the trek from all sides of the country! Thank you all very much and it was great to meet up again!

And then Bobbie....with the roof lining being fitted as I post!
