NOOOOOOO, Jude is not pregnant - pphheeeeeewwww!;)

This little beauty arrived today and I just thought you might want a wee look. I have tried as much as possible to keep it a secret (my family included) for the last 6 weeks and it seems to have worked.

Enjoy!

Craig;)

PS - Many thanks to Minime, Clare and all at Menzies for keeping the secret and doing all the hard work ;)

thanks Vaila, yeah never lied to soooooo many people in my life!:D Name is due soon, I know what it will be, but the graphics will help to make more sense - just not organised them yet (Car came at the end of my holidays, so didn't have the time to sort them out).

Scottiecoop - I'll speak to you at the run in 2 weeks re your "accessories"

Cheers

Craig

PS - it's already been modded tonight (fitted LED Sidelights and Silver Front Indicator Bulbs) to get rid of the old "fried egg" look!;)

Craig

yeah it is Fiona, Ian was being a nice chap and trying to source them from Skidz in Falkirk. I think he has ordered them and we are just waiting on them coming in (they were due at the beginning of the week sometime). I don't have the wheels now, they are at Menzies. Thanks for the offer, I'll wait to see what tommorrow brings.:D

Graphic finally on and his name is now Knottie (but nice as jude put it..;))

attached a few photos below... The graphic is an exact copy of the design on my wedding ring (the link to my other half..) I think it looks better than I thought it would.. BIG thank you to the guys at Spaced Out Graphics in Stirling, they have done me proud. If anybody wants their details, email me.
