Retro Van, Wrecked his Van, .. on Friday.......

Hi guys, just to say I have been side swiped when in my Corsa Bakkie, on Friday am.
I am in pain with creaked ribs, but OK, so will be taking the next few days easy, still have to move most of my stuff, but that is all in hand,
Will be off the forum for a few days, but needed to wish you all a Marry Christmas and excellent New Year

May the worse time next year be better then the best time last year. :shock: :D

Till later.......

Thanks guys, means a lot....................

One thing is for sure, sneezing, with broken ribs is a bitch.......

Do not know if you should laugh, cry, or die.

That goes for chocking, hiccups and cramps.......

But the move had to go on.

Moved into the new house, moved most of the equipment into the new workshop, and still only have to move the office, but hey, that's for the next few days....

Thanks for the wishes, and yes, still of the older model type, only lay down when its time to die.......

Damn shame those wrecks! I've been thinking lately how long it's been since I've been in a wreck. That means I'm probably overdue for one! Get well soon Herman!
