welcome emily

briggie · 11-09-2011, 17:44

sheila has decided on a isuzu bighorn ( lotus edition ) to replace sally , i dont really have any choice in the matter

, emily is a j reg bighorn , but only done 140,000 km , and is in quite good condition .

i strongly suspect that sheila will give me her mistral ( wendy ) and use emily.

no piccies yet because we havent collected it yet , but she rung up after viewing it ( with our friend phil ) and put a holding deposit on it .

sounds good pete,

slightly bigger bus than a mistral.

recall, plank has had a few troopers,
dunno about big horns, cough.

also karl that was on here, are you there
karl, he has got or had got a bh.

You'll be well sorted for the winter now Pete, I'm glad you're sorted.

Best regards, Richard (Rustic)

good luck Peter, I hope its a good example.

cosmetically it isnt perfect , ie . chrome pitting around the fog lamps / bull bar , paint is a little dull , but phil says mechanically it looks and sounds good..... in his words " starts on the button and runs as sweet as a nut "

, sheila is quite happy with it anyway
phil says someone has bodged the back box , but thats not the end of the world

Peter....because of you, I had a dream about this last night. I met you and Sheila and the kids in some random village. You were using the Isuzu, I was kinda hoping for a lift home, but with the kids, there wasnt room, so I had to walk. Thanks a bunch.

Or stick some tyres around him, and put him on the roof like michelin man.

That's going back a bit......
Nearly as bad as those tiger tails you got from Esso, more like W*lly warmers

Sounds good pete, there also known as the vauxhall monterey. I was looking at them before I got a t2 but I couldn't afford one

clivvy · 12-09-2011, 14:10
