Can I get a hug?

How about Saab-ina sabina?

Awww, big {{{{{{{{ hugs}}}}}}}} from me, I get very attached to mine, they've always had names, like Vinnie - our trialler - in my Avatar.

We always use to name all our cars
Brother had Doris the Land Rover
Dad had Trevor the Triumph
OH had Larry the Lada ( don`t laugh it was his first car)
Sister had Sally the Skoda (see above)
Mine was Bug a Saxo

Hugs to you we all know what its like to get attached to cars we all do it!!!!

Well, he drove off into the sunset last night with someone else behind the wheel. Mr Newowner Dude was given strictest instructions (in front of his dad) to look after him and be good. I have a feeling he will.

It's still going to be local so I might be able to keep an eye on him anyway.

Going car shopping this weekend with a view to picking something up when I get back from holiday.

Glad to know it isn't just us then We have

Madmax's Black SD1 - Animal (coz it bites)
My red SD1 - Shack (coz it is a bit of one)(first owned by Ronnie Knight)
Flossie - see avatar
Elder son's mini cabrio (old style) - Toad (he is a Mario fan)
The load lugger Marea Weekend - Mario (see above)
Beat up old Punto for kids to learn to drive in - Guido (it's Italian isn't it?)

Please note, not all these cars are on the road at the same time - currently Animal, Flossie and Mario, soon to be Guido for elder son to have lessons and practice. Hopefully Toad will start to be rebuilt soon so that it is looking great for next year.

Good luck with the car shopping HeyWayne. I test drove a SAAB a few years back but the boys decided there wasn't an extra seat for them to have mates along so it didn't pass the test.

Noooo - 7 miles of country roads with some pretty nasty hills and not much in the way of footpaths.

Using LW's car for the time being.

I'd love to be able to cycle - but with my propensity to sweat quite a bit and the fact I have to dress "smart" for work and there are no shower/wash facilities here....

Hey dude, lets face it you can't be Ar**d.

I'd say best not then hey?In Andi's defence(in case you thought i was moaning about him!)he does suffer with old man hips & does a pretty physical job on top so really don't mind!)besides we had the car y'day & because we used it & not walked anywhere the kiddies were so hyper~" mile run for them today!!

but how long would it take to get antwhere!!?was gonna say cool name for a dog but thenn...

[Mikey]

Thats the best thing about a treadmill, it doesn't matter where they go on it, they never get lost.

Ours can be connected to the internet so you can follow video routes at your pace, if you fancy running down miami beach, amongst a load of hotties you can!!

I did it once - and was paranoid about being whiffy the rest of the day, most uncomfortable. Took me ages to cool down too.

I used to do it a lot, when I was younger (when in college I would frequently travel the 52 miles there and back by bike). Once you have to drop of children on route it kinda puts the kibosh on things. I wouldn't travel on a bike with a child on the road, it just ain't safe.
