My history. 80's/90's hatches, RSs, 911s and a few bikes

Thanks Willisit, to be honest I was much more excited about these than my wife who wanted something a bit more grown up.
Luckily it's character came across well during the test drive.
She loves it now and has had loads of comments when pulling up at places. Not that she's a poser mind, but it's always nice when people like something that you like.
RC - Get one bought! Sounds like you're already half way there. You get all the character from the 135hp Abarth to be honest. We just went for the 160 Trofeo as it was there in a decent colour and with the Monza system.
If you're going for a different one though do not get the salesman to start a car with a monza exhaust. Nothing else will do after that.

Afternoon Craig, sounds like you've got enough on at your end then. Growing up comes to us all eh.
At least you're still getting some track time in, I miss that.
The house is well on thanks. Bits and bobs out front to finish such as planting borders and building a pergola. Then it's back garden, which is just a pile of mud currently.
I'd like to think it'll all be done by next summer but then I'll be restarting on the rooms that were done first.
I really do want to get it to a point where I don't have to lift a finger for 5 years or so. Not sure if that situation even exists mind.
I will update the house thread eventually but time is so limited.
Anyway glad all is well at your end. Good health to you and the family. From what I've seen of your house, in the background of some of your pics a while back, it's mighty impressive.
It looks great. Well done.
Take it easy matey.

Hi John, I hope you're well.
Yes that's right, Cullercoats. Sealife centre one way, church and ice cream van, the other.
Yep gimmie a wave. I'll keep an eye out.
I like those MTs. A guy that works with my wife has a one in a blackberry, purpley colour. Lovely.
I will be back on a bike at some point. I've got an itch for a small cafe racer, just to pootle to work on. We'll see.
Anyway, mind how you go.
