They look a lot better with the Tonneau cover on. Just a pain having to keep putting it on

Looking very nice Steve.:) How is the self employed business going these days. I sometimes wish I still was, but the tech side of cars is really leaving me behind TBH.

You'r right there it is a bit of a wrestling match to fit it but worth it,dreading it when i have to remove it in a hurry in a down pour

thanks for that. Business is very up and down across the building trade in this region to be honest especially in my game (plumbing and heating). Too many plumbers about :mad:.

A good plumber is a rare commodity around Lincoln Steve, also there's quite a lot of building being planned and actually happening in Lincs now. Some big developments in the pipe line.. Do you work away from home or rather have local work?

I prefer to work local tbh as i'v worked away in the past and not keen on it as it feels like you'r always at work. I enjoy my week ends especialy as summer's looming :whistle:. So did you run your own auto business before ?

Yes mate, the garage I worked at closed in 1986 so I bit the bullet and thought well at least there are some customers who know me so went for it. All good till 1992 when our youngest daughter contracted Leukaemia and the next 2 years took a lot out of us till she died in 1994. A couple of years after that we sold up to a young man who worked for us and I let someone else have the worries.

Ah Tony i am sorry to hear about your daughter i can't imagine what you must of gone through. 1 of my cousins suffered the same thing many years ago and did'nt pull through. As a father of 2 girls and a son its always a worry where there health and well being is concerned. So are'nt you tempted to take a leap of faith again ? you'd have plenty of Z customers.

No, I'm all for the easy life now mate, 59 this October and next year I'm wanting to reduce my hours at work and they're quite receptive to that = more Z time.:)

young at heart
Ha Ha, working with a bunch who act like kids maybe helps there Steve. I had an overhaul at City Hospital (Notts) 8 years ago so I'm on a pigs heart valve now so I enjoy life as much as I can which includes 2 - 3 week stays at our villa in Florida each year to help unwind too. If losing our Carla taught us one thing, it was you're only getting one chance at this.

Yeh that does help:whistle:.A pig's heart valve...amazing. That villa sounds great,we stayed in Kissimee in a villa around 2008 for a holiday taking in the theme parks with the kids we realy enjoyed it cus they were the ideal age for it. Could'nt agree more with your quote Tony. Enjoy it mate.:thumbsup:.

That's 7 years ago mate, time you went back.=)) It's a big kids play ground isn't it. The first time we went was in April '94, the Make-A-Wish Foundation paid for us all, Shirl, me and 3 kids to go the Disney World for Carla's wish, a very busy week, visiting all the theme parks etc. all expenses paid including spending money. Unbelieveable !!

Believe me if it was up to the missus we'd live there haha. Priced it up last year and could'nt believe how much it costs,we'd need about 9 grand !. Wow that must of been some thing when you all went in 94,its brought a tear to my eye. A freind of my 2 girls had cancer when she was 12,she's now 18 so of course she fort it off after months of chemo and treatments,it was touch and go for a long time. The same foundation took her and her mum to lap land all paid for and they also had her new pony trained up so as she could ride it when she recovered. Priceless.

Yes the Theme parks are very expensive mate, having said that there's loads to do over there for free and next to free. You do have to look for it though. I can't believe how much Disney and Universal have pushed their prices up to. Scare's the hell out of me. When our Carla was admitted to the Sheffield Children's Hospital the group who were admitted at the same time most were given a 70% chance of survival and one young lad was given 50-50 at best. Of all of them he is the only one who survived bless him, grown up with his own family now, and you can only be thankful for that.

Tony.
