Wifes had her first drive in it and it's also the first manual since the accident at begining of December, ok February she started driving but has only driven my project truck which is auto. So far although it's nice she prefers a automatic.

For over forty years of driving I was very tongue in cheek about auto's but the T2 has now swayed my mind. I have a Volvo V70 D5 manual and would be interested in driving one with geartronic for comparison.

Funny you should mention the lumberjack song. On Sunday we had my parents over for a meal and my daughters were going through some old videos they made around the house when they were kids. In one of them I burst into that song.

It will be a little while but when they're on I'll be posting some pics up. I will have all measurements when I've finished so could make more, they will be pretty heavy duty though and certainly not to everyones taste

Okay so you are a Lumberjack the only on I have ever heard of but not met was married to a young gal named Moya who used to live in Luton but moved to Chester !!

If that is you am going to need therapy.lol

No, I found a delightful Scottish girl 20+years ago from Edinburgh, who somehow tolerates my eccentricities........

But you may still require therapy....

I've lost the truck for the weekend

My eldest son has borrowed it to go camping

emjaybee · 22-04-2017, 14:54

You muppet!

Blocky10 · 22-04-2017, 18:31

Good ole Dad.

Best start looking for another.

I borrowed my dad's van and had it 18 months

jims-terrano · 22-04-2017, 19:10

I've told him I might know where there's a nice 3litre swb coming up soon

My kids have basically grown up with the old Terrano, when we picked it up all those years ago he claimed the third row all to himself but like clothes the third row got handed down as all three grew out of them

So a Terrano is his ambition so who knows.

Nice truck Jim, glad you've managed to find something

Still a few things at play first before Grandad's will be ready but just to mix it all up a bit again it looks like my brother is getting rid of his Jimny and his Clio 197 and having it
