Didn't actually have to go anywhere!
« on: November 13, 2011, 11:06:15 PM »
Some guy dropped by to see if I wanted my driveway cleaning etc.... So, I had a chat to find out how much it might actually cost. His first question was "What's with that car with no headlights? Are you doing it up?" I said I was rebuilding it. He seemed to be taking more interest in the car than the drive and then said he really liked the colour of the Ferrari.
No where on the car does it say Ferrari, the only badges on it are the hub caps. There's not anything on the calipers.... The rear window's still got its' protective film on it...
Ah well, it seems some people know their cars!  ;) ;)

Just had a new gas fire fitted.  The fitter hardly spoke a word to us until he had to turn off the gas in the garage and found a YELLOW exotica in there and then we couldn't shut him up.

Your right, you don't have to go anywhere.

Not all problems can be solved with gaffer tape.  For those there is WD40.
Not even gaffer tape can fix stupid, but it can mask the sound.

If you can’t buy it or steal it you have to make it.

Drive cleaning , was he a Pikey ?  I' d  make sure your alarms are tiptop, there was a gang going around by us  a couple of years ago making out they were looking for work cleaning drives but were really just casing house's, loads got dun over, Better safe than sorry.

If he comes back tell him you're refitting the headlights after you install the machine guns

We went to the local canal festival (Jill with her jewellery stand, me with the Furrari on display and for sale).  Lot of interest until they found it was a replica.  How much Ferrari do some idiots think they are going to get for £25,000

The Furrari is a brilliant advertising aid for the stand. It certainly gets everyone's attention and must have attracted lots of potential customers to Jill's stand.  She's happy, your happy....everyone's a winner.

Had many viewings on the Furrari or just lots of dreamer??

And have you figured out how your going to attach the caravan to the DN8?? Lol

No viewings yet as it's only gone on pistonheads today so only dreamers so far.

How am I going to fit the tow bar.  I'm not, Brian is.  If a caravan behind a Furrari doesn't attract attention what will.

Furrari,

Don't forget to paint the caravan Giallo Modena to match your DN8. ;D

Thank you for the preview but the car is the wrong colour.  For a moment I thought it was being driven by the Stig.
