Either this (what it was supposed to be in the first place, but after a few mistakes, I just filled in the holes):

Or ol' Ben Spannerman (who is a lot closer to the persona of the car - in my opinion):

Any advice MG? (Apart from leaving the car home this time? )

my preference is Spannerman

u coming for sure? Maybe we can book a tent...whaddya say?

'Ben Spannerman'. (If the tools you consider appropriate for your personal use in building a rod are a cheque book and a pen, then you may not get the joke. :lol:

)

If I coming for sure? Yuh eh shame tuh arkse mih dat??? And is not BEG ah beg yuh an' yuh pardnah Zodi, last year, tuh come an' see de one in Bagwansingh carpark... and allyuh duck out on mih, leaving mih high and dry... and dey even label Betsy as ah 1973 Avenger... Ah run out mih money on mih cell, begging allyuh tuh try an make ah pass... Yuh ha' no shame, eh?

How much would the tent cost? I'm planning on going as early as possible to give a hand - you know, provide whatever strength I have left after pushing Betsy to Skinner Park (wherever there is) in assisting with tents, chairs, disposing of cold beers, etc.

MG, Ben Spannerman it is. Saturday, I'll baptise the little bugger.

Vinyl. Some good friends in Barrackpore (really decent fellahs... unlike my other friends, like the two who were referred to earlier) who are also avid old English car guys, do vinyl signs, and they offered to make a decal for the Viva if I could design one. (They're also perfectionist auto paint folk, so I suspect they were hoping to cover up most of my aboriginal attempts.)

Yuh mean ah ha' tuh shave mih leg again??? (Sorry, I saw "MG" and "drag" in the same sentence... )
Those two ingrates will be there this time. I had to make some promises - I guess I'll have to shave my legs anyway.

Yeah, the "Whey de hell is skinnypark" question is a problem... but I figure that if I reach Cedros, then I've gone too far. As far as the buggy problems are concerned: do like me... drive in reverse, and walk with a carload of tools. The first is to make the little gremlin think that you're going home, and the second scares the sheit out of her to think that you don't mind propping her bonnet and performing major surgery in public - and she'll purr like a pussycat there and back... and spill oil Exxon Valdez-style all over the garage by the next morning, just to remind you that she's still a diva.
