Good Morning Boys!!!

Just a quick update - "Rosie" is looking PERRRFECT

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

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

Hye there Dutch,

You not talking to us or WHAT???? I have a very good idea that "Rosie" will be back with us by the weekend........

I saw the painter yesterday and the buffing has begun! Will be going there FIRST thing in the morning to check on the pogress! And it had better be good

Will keep you up to date

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures !!! pretty please

Pictures are only available to Bonafide Subscribers........

Are you on "THE LIST" Will send some as soon as Dutch has given the OK!!

Muds, are you online If so, I need to talk to you - URGENTLY

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!

Do you need his mobile number?

"FRANKY-BOY" - How do you know ME
Of course I have his mobile number..... I just thought that it may be nice to chat with you lot for a bit, that is if any of you are going into the chat room

And YES "Rosie" is looking MIGHTY FINE

Esme, Before I forget, Jurgen, you and anyone else are invited to Dave's (HR's) house in Brackenfell on Saturday 10th Oct for a Bring and Braii.I think a few people will be there!

Thanks Dutch
Are you going? Will chat to you on the morning - let me know when it will be convenient for you so I can give you an update on "Rosie"

You can give me an SMS - I will be going to the painters at about 8-30ish

Esme, just in case you dont like second hand info. You are all invited to a bring and braai at my house on Saturday night from 18h00 onwards. We will be celebrating the arrival of the "Reich-side" into my posession.

Hey there Dutch!

Do I have a surprise for you

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

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!!!!!"

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

Thanks Esme....sounding perfect! I CAN'T WAIT

Congrats on rosy as well. Sounds like she's been sorted.

ill b in da area
think ill pop in before the metal meet

So great news to be had.....Bobbie is back! I know yet another name change but Mrs D 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!
