Mind you I love most cars

Welcome anyway ..... the Snet meet is a good chance to get to meet some of the guys and girls here. There is no track action at these (at the moment) so there will be no danger to the Astra.

ps I dont love Astras ... but it is welcome anyway ]

do you love my car duncan? :?

I love what you are doing with it

:P

Hi Patrick, "happy new year "good to see you've joined up mate :thumb:....sorry to see you still have problems with the rebuilt engine though

Anyway would be good to see you at a Snetterton meet soon

PS I thought "Status quo" were gonna be a little easier on you this year IE toning it down a bit and not doing as many gigs??....is that not the case now.

Hi Marty! Yep, Quo are winding down a bit in 2007 after 3 years of hard road work (only seen home for 10 days in the last 8 months). That's why I'm so disappointed that my lovely GTO ain't ready for me to drive yet :x as I haven't driven her in 3 months now. Leather retrim looks and smells beautiful as well. I've got 5 months off now... Looking for work! Bit of courier driving would be nice. Brain in neutral and van in 5th. Or job as village postie - all those yummy mummies :roll: Deffo NOT looking to get back on the road again until June at the earliest, I need a rest. I want to enjoy some time in rural Norfolk and see what my mortgage is actually paying for!
Hopefully car will be back on the road in around 3 weeks, so see you then.

Welcome to the forum, always loved the looks of the GTO eversince I first saw a 3000GT at the motorshow 8)

I know how you feel being without it for three months, mine has been away for over two months now

I moved here from Epping 5 years ago. Love it! The Feathers is going down hill a bit, but I can still stagger home without the car. Rose and Crown in Snettisham has better beer, but it's a drive away

. Where you now? D'you get back here much? There's some good ole boys with some good ole motors here - '54 Chevvy pick-up, '69 Mustang, '42 Willis Jeep, Noble, Ferrari 355, AC Cobra, and so it goes on... Never met so many petrol heads in such a small place!

Labour of love aren't they... Still, they don't half put a big grin on your face when you get 'em back!

I just love the Norfolk country lanes... always obeying the speed limits, of course :roll:
