Chunk and I parted company on Monday evening. He's returned to the mothership (that minime totally fleeced me so he did ;)) to sit, for a wee while, with Big Col's auld mowta (the zebra stripes were lovely by the way).

Big changes in work patterns and life in general have brought about his departure. I'm looking to turn the proceeds from his sale into something more aquatically based ;) (I'm sure Fontal will know where I'm coming from).

Linda's told me I can still borrow the Daisy from time to time so I guess all is not lost. Sadly for you lot..... I'll still be around ;):p

Oh. Mini Martyn's spotted him already ;)

Big Col

You mean you sold him and never even gave me a shot?!?! :(

IAIN! We need to talk about a test drive! :D

Oh man! sorry to hear that Willie - but when the snow melts this week your new flotation device will come into it's own! :D

DOH!! I knew I'd made a mistake somewhere along the line :I

Sorry there were no offspring Julz. Turned out that after Stouffer, Daisy just couldn't give herself to another MINI ;)

So is there a canal that runs from Perthshire to Bonnybridge? :p

Willie M
25th February 2005, 01:33 AM
You know I could actually get back and forward to my work by boat.
Take the River Earn from Crieff, into the Tay, down the coast into the Forth, along to Grangemouth and into the sealock, then along the Forth & Clyde canal, right to my doorstep in Bonnybridge.

It'd probably take about 3 days mind you :sleepy:;)

Best of luck on your new adventure, Willie.

At the end of the day, its only a car, a damn good one right enough, but other things have to take priority.

Now, now Col & minime.... don't you go abusing the wee fella :mad:
Aye, what a deal I got from minime right enough :disapprove: I've just discovered it's gonna be bl**dy difficult getting myself a wee boat, with only a crate of empty Barrs bottles and a MINI fridge magnet to put down as a deposit :dead:

Big Col
25th February 2005, 05:31 PM
See it's all funny when you're encouraging people to put ZEBRA STRIPES on my old motor but when it comes to Chunk well THAT'S a different story! ;)

Don't worry mate. If Iain does let me out for a wee spin in him I'll treat him with respect.

Actually...Zebra stripes...HEY IAIN! :D

Mini Martyn
25th February 2005, 07:33 PM

sad to see it go, but like you said, priorities first AND you still have one in the family :) Just means you'll need to bribe Linda a little more for the use of her darling Daisy.

Get a classic! ;)
