Popular Post peteyg 299 Posted April 29 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 29 Well I've achieved pretty much fuck all because I still have a job and now I'm a full time teacher as well. So please do me a favour and stop posting all these lovely pictures and stories of how you're making the most of your 'down' time! I have managed single handedly to build a house though... 3 Pete '79 S2 LEW Miss September 2009 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post ADF 41 Posted April 30 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 30 Hi Pete, is that house for sale I'm a cash buyer and it looks a perfect size for me, but in this economic climate I'm afraid even that might be beyond my budget (you can live in a car but can't drive a house!!!) As for achieving fuck all, I try hard but never manage to fully achieve that goal but I'm willing to try harder. Kevin, just wondering what was worst, having pneumonia or spending a week in Basingstoke? Archie is definitely a bit of a poser. He gets loads of attention especially from the ladies, they all say how handsome he is, I just pretend they're talking about me. Paul, the project is looking pretty cool to me, but photo's can be deceptive, and as for my taste???? Anyway, the Elise arch is repaired, painted and just drying a bit before polishing. Probably not my best work but the only way you'd probably notice is if I've run you over. Had a bit of a mare matching paints but bodged something closeish I'll have to wait until I get it out into the daylight to really tell. Take care all, Tony 3 Link to post Share on other sites

ADF 41 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I luv off roaders, its very "zombie apocalypse". It might come in handy soon if society collapses, or just to get the weekly shop. What's that box on the top? Dean, when this is all over I'll take you for a spin in the Elise if you like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DaveC72 760 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 So, how the Donald Duck is everyone? Has anyone dug up the patio and buried the Wife yet? We've furloughed a bunch of people on 70% pay, everyone else is short term working. Which is nice. Not least as I seem to be everyone's "Out of Office" for the day they don't work... which I'm not supposed to be working either... I've been out in the Evora twice since the middle of March, as I really don't want to be the guy at the side of the road in the bright orange car talking to the law about why I'm out and about. I strongly suspect that passers by would be giving me the coffee hand shake. I'm not sure my resolve is going to hold though, as dreams of shouting "you'll have to catch me first, Copper" and shooting off in the distance with the 5-Oh in tow are starting to feature heavily. So if you see a mess of Orange Fibreglass, burning Michelins and exploding V-Power on the news, you'll know I've cracked. Sorry to hear you've been crook @Kevin Wheeler, but trust you're on the mend now? @pbharcourt[email protected] me. Time hasn't been kind to Noddy, has it? @peteyg, that should have been a shed, not a house. Man up, fella. We're still planning to have the HantsFest Lotus meet when this is all over, I've been Harrowing and Rolling the fields in preparation. Be safe all... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Kevin Wheeler 298 Posted May 7 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 7 I am improving day by day thanks @DaveC72. Apparently it takes two months to get over pneumonia and I can believe it. i am not furloughed, nor are any of my staff. Believe it or not, accountants are quite in demand at the moment, since we seem to be able to help people get free money. Strange that, isn't it? My wife is quite safe with me since she won't let me unload the dishwasher and is even threatening to mow the lawn again on Saturday. The cars have come out of their garage a couple of times, but only to be cleaned and a tiny bit of maintenance. Like you I am just going to go for a drive soon. If I drive Deb to Tesco's and wait while she is in the shop, that is OK isn't it? Looking forward to dragfest or whatever you call it! (I might need a comfier field though.) ...... and a pint! Cheers. Look after yourselves! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the Lotus deal has fallen through, so I consoled myself with buying the Land rover The box on the roof is a hatch so you can shoot the other customers in Waitrose car park to reduce the social distancing que.

ADF 41 Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Help, What's wrong with me, I think a pistachio wedge is COOL!!!! and loving the bunting. Paul, that's going to be an interesting conversation with the insurance company:- "has the car been modified sir" . As for the box on the roof it sounds like a swivel mount and .50 Cal are required. Finally got the elise paint repairs all finished (in-between sessions of chain sawing the garden to death). Not impressed with the colour match on the front, the cracks are all gone and its nice and shiny but it looks like I've hit a cream bun. Mind you with it being 50 shades of white already and I cant see it while driving, who cares. Its usually covered in dead bugs anyway but I can always redo it when I can get a better match or just wait until I hit something else. Live long and prosper 2 Link to post Share on other sites
