Title: Another long day
Post by: Timbuk on 20 August 2007, 21:44:25
I don't know why but i like buying cars from far away places  :-/ Had a six hour coach journey today to pick up another project ::) but it was well worth it. The drive home more than made up for it, now have a 99 Elite added to the fleet  8-)

The Elite is a splendid drive - neither the mrs nor I could believe how comfortable the seats were in the one i just bought.  satnav a bit mickey mouse though, but Bose sounded good on a quick blast.

Bose is excellent, especially in a saloon, Sat Nav........ :-X, but to be fair it is an old system

Have a consultation meeting with residents, and as long as they don't ask too many questions maybe 8.30 finish, and the same tomorrow night, had 2 last week one finished at 9.45p.m. the other 8.45pm >:(

Never mind dinner... what's home??  :-[

Finally get back home last night (not sure what time, it was dark...) to find a "For Sale" sign outside my house!

No idea how long it has been there, wasn't there when I left Monday morning!
