You've spent far too much time in the sun lately!!!! Mrs probably will pull real hard, but it wouldn't be something pleasant I imagine. :lol: :lol:

I know about the stuffed cat, as I said to you the other day I have re-discovered all this power after having my cat replaced with a hi-flow one.

worked saturday morning and half of the afternoon thanks to the AA breakdown guys bringing me more customers when I should've been shut.

sunday I was invited to go Off Road Racing with the Central Plateau Offroad Racing Club.

As I did at the speed day, I let 'adogg' have a drive as well.

It was great fun, although its not the ideal event for a SWB leaf sprung cruiser. The paddock had unfortunately been ploughed and was very deep pumice dirt, which 'orange' found to be power sapping and made her get hot quite often. It was loose as hell which eventually led to poor 'orange' falling over. So we called it a day a went home, wth a ripped soft top being the only damage.

pics can be found here...................

adogg has a pic of her going over, but I won't get it till tomorrow ,so I'll post it then.

next time you see him, ask about the name '140'

its a funny story.

and before anyone else asks for the story.
the answer is no, because there are too many wankers on this site who cry at the slightest tittie shot or the use of foul language. so you can all get fucked :!: :!: :!: :roll:
