..Venison for Christmas Team?

..I have just been offered 2 small haunches for £30 - Do you all think that is good value or Dr Pepper, is that too deer?

 

[jjad]

ho ho ho! Merry Christmas Ian and all.
Happy R4ing

Sounds good value to me.


Merry Christmas one and all.

We got a lovely little card the other day with a new address in it, I think another is winging its way back telling of our change of address to come!

We're moving to the next village as we've finally bought a house in the UK!

We wanted to stay where we are as our family is pretty close, its good for Judiths work, ( it doesn't really matter where I live)

I reckon my signature has come true, this year has been brilliant!

pepper -Santa is comin' to town! I have it on Good authority that Santa has loaded his sledge and has updated his Uk-gps this year.It's now down to you all to be a good lad for the remaining of -10 to remain on his list!
-Have you told your wife that you Love her -the most? have you tucked your 4 away cosely? Have you been a good neighbour-offering to clear the driveway for poor old Dorothy up the road? -It's All up to you you know.... After Christmas we'll compare results. I'm wishing for someone to weld me a header (plummers nightmare)to fit my 810 engine.-Do you Really want to risk it????
R'member.. I'm connected to The Santa -Capo de tutto Capi c",)-R.

..My goodness Reida, how prosaic you are

..and how delighted I am to hear that you are still alive and kicking up there in cold Norwayland - AND by the way, you failed to respond to my 'Last Post' to you - the 'skins off cold rice pudding one'?

Now you seem to suggest you are close to Santa Claus. Well if you are and you are able to come up with the goodies this time, this is what 'Team Top Gear(y)' want for Christmas....

Now as a carrot, if we do get it, we will definitely consider heading up to see you next summer as long as we are guaranteed traditional Norwayland hospitality...frocost, Lunsj, Middag and a Minke Whale sandwich at bed time..I bet you cant wait!!

Now Dr Pepper - what fab news about the house -Well done, well done indeed - when is the moving in party?

A REALLY BRILLIANT YEAR for you all!!

Lol, for anyone one puzzeled over what the above car is, its a 'Young Rosalie' or in anglais a Citroen C6G grand limosine.

3 speed straight 6 with updraft carb, right hand drive english registered. barn stored since about 1965, you can just make out the tax disk.

After a snap of the fingers engine rebulid (rings worn out) she will be on her way to Le Moulin Bodin for a busy year trundling to Le Mans then back for Good Wood and if we are alloud to - Thenay???

..Michael dear boy..

..You have forgotten to add in the trip to wonderful Norwayland to see Reida and his pet Minke Whale Roger in our '2011 summer of fun' tour.

But maybe we should cancel the Norwayland trip as we should remember what young Reida said about Citroen owners not a few weeks ago?

Lets go to Black Forest Gateauland instead and go and see young Robert in Kleinaitingen as I can guarantee his hospitality - he is the only person I know who instantly organises his own beer fest when anyone calls by!!

How are you doing Robert and Frohe Weihnachten to you and yours from all your friends in England!!

And here are a few more picutres. Im sure she will be going anywhere and every where once she has new rubber soles fitted

 

[Bobble]

Will be a worth while project to see a car like that back on the road, change plugs, points, filters, oil, water and new rubber on each corner and she will be away.
Ah forgot about the brakes it will need to stop as well as go.
Seriously though, looks in pretty good condition and probably would'nt take all that long to complete.
