Well Pete did all the searching, the leg work, the questioning & the bargaining for me and, as he stated, has even offered to collect it for me.....so this morning I put down the deposit on a Griso 1200SE  :thumb:

Guess I need to change my signature line now....

Pete has repeatedly proved himself to be  mighty fine fella. (as a recent parcel arriving on my doorstep attests)

I was thinking I took an Imp for a test drive once after my Humber 80 rolled over. Now I remember it was a Riley Elf, a pimped up mini. Wasn't that impressed and bought a Humber 90, much more room on the back seat which was a requirement back then. Don't ask me why - lol.

My parents helped me buy a Mini as my first car. Probally with the wishful thinking that there wasn't enough room in there for 'entertaining'! Ha !

As one of them later said, 'You could have wiped the footprints off the ceiling.......' :laugh:

Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for him... I'm waiting for when I can do something to help him one day, but the old bastard is so damn competent that it'll probably never happen. But I'm ready.

I too feel that 'debt', mainly but not just to him.

If you've got a spare skeleton without arthritis I could swap out that would be good!  :evil:

Hey Pete, you could have mine but I may need it for a while yet - I'm hoping.

Watched a movie last night called GET OUT that had a novel method of curing the ageing process. Good flick and worth a look IMHO.

Are some Roo the other night and liked it. Apart from the smell when I opened the pack it tasted like beef to me. Yet to sis out Guzzi dealers but will be in town for a couple more weeks.

Cheers
Kev

The Imp was a mighty fine little vehical and went like the clappers, but it was no good in New Zealand.  It was built and tuned to use high octane gas ( 100 to 105 RON) but with our 3rd world crap it knocked itself to pieces in no time flat.

The old Austin A40 Somerset I had proved suitably roomy Kev. Boy I would like that car back.
