Re: Malgré tout 2007 (France)

have to say cliff, I have always liked the look of that G, Red is a bit of an issue but still looks good, A LC would be too big for that lane. Since rich has purchased the LC11, its kinda infected us with a virous. I am tempted now, :shock:

well, sort off, I paid her car tax, she soon changed her mind when I waved the queens head in front of her. She came last time with the outlaws, I mean inlaws, and she hated it, so she's letting me go. Just wont tell here how much fuel I will have to put in to the 560 :shock: :D opps I forgot, she dont even know I have a 560 yet, handy having a farm. Can anyone give me any ideas how to break it to her gently and still keep my genitalia :cry:

Use the flower trick. You see, I never, never give any flowers to my wife except when I have to break news such as yours. Then I do.

She would immediately think that you have done something very, very wrong and that you feel guilty for it... then say, honey, don't worry, I haven't slept with anyone, honest, it's just that I have just bought a 560! She would feel relieved and forgive your peccaditto!

Peter(Ian) the G looks very good, have you had some paint work done to her? I don't think that blue thing in front of it is going to make the round trip- you may have to tow it back!!. Hope you all a good time and a safe trip
