Bloody hell, where's she been? In the sea? Does Conrod know you've got it?

It's only surface rust, nowt to worry about. YEah John knows i was looking and when he reads this he will know i bought it. We should form the Sweetpea Owners Club as there will be 3 of us

How long have these masochistic tendencies Andy, will you be at Newlands or Redhill aerodrome in Sept?

A true Locoster at last.

I'll deff be at Newlands this Sunday but will miss next months meet as i'll be driving back from France. Hopefully be able to arrange a mid month meet at Redhill

But the big question is this: Just how long will he own this one before selling it?

I don't know what you mean!?!?!?!?!

Sweet Pea? My car's called a "Lathyrus" (look it up...)

poor old girl

Its got some steering lock on it, turn on a tanner that.

The genus Lathyrus consists of the sweet peas and vetchlings, flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae. There are approximately 160 species of Lathyrus; they are native to temperate areas, with a breakdown of 52 species in Europe, 30 species in North America, 78 in Asia, 24 in tropical East Africa, and 24 in temperate South America.[1] There are annual and perennial species which may be climbing or bushy. This genus has numerous sections, including Orobus, which was once a separate genus.[2]

The genus includes the garden sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) and the perennial everlasting pea (Lathyrus latifolius). Flowers on these cultivated species may be rose, red, maroon, pink, white, yellow, purple or blue and some are bicolored; they are also fragrant, which makes them a very popular garden plant. Cultivated species are susceptible to fungal infections including downy and powdery mildew. Lathyrus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Grey Chi, Latticed Heath (both recorded on Meadow Vetchling) and Chionodes braunella.

oooooh, fighting talk. I think ill pull up a chair..........

Don't forget the popcorn.

We love each other really, but not in a man on man way!!

I'm resigned to the fact that my car is sitting unfinished in the garage and will continue to do so due to my current financial situation and will probably remain that way for at least the next year

I have no doubt one way or another donuts new car will be on the road before mine - no popcorn required!

Ned.

OK i've got an idea, since donut has built two indy's and a nut and bolt rebuild of a mini how about no help what so ever this time
