That's an incredibly polite dialogue you had with Linda and it's a testament to you. Online messaging can be such a terse form of communication. The most I have ever got out of people on Marketplace is the usual '400' 2nite m8 or '50 quid and a motorbike ashtray, meet outside the Co-op on Mare Street'. Or the inevitable ghosting after you confirm something is available. Lots of words have been typed in the last 24 hours and I make it a policy not to stick my head above the parapet (here and in real life tbh) but if you do get something in the future and need it transported, I'm happy to go and get it for you and bring it to the dead end. I held back on offering as others threw their hat into the ring, but I'm always up for an adventure! Likewise if said vehicle needs light fettling, (track rod ends, an oil change, brake pads, new plugs etc) I'm happy to come up and help. However, when it's a little warmer than last time, eh? 😝 my fingers are still numb from two years ago!

Covers (one for each type of calendar) designed, and all of the photos added. Order sent off to the printers and my tame credit card is ready for a battering when I ring up and pay tomorrow morning. If all goes well, I should be able to collect the calendars on Tuesday, the first batch may go out the same day - I depends how quickly I drive home that evening to catch the post. There will be a PM tomorrow evening to each of you who have expressed an interest with a link to a form which allows me to save addresses etc. Payment by PayPal or bank transfer whichever is easier. Going to bed now, knackered

The results are in, here they are: February: Zelandeth's Renault 25 Interior March: HMC's Rover P4 in Dartmoor April: Vulgalour's Spares Lanchester with hot Maestro and Princess action May is tied between synchronised Vauxhall fettling at the FOD and BX Estate from Rust Collector, the stuff people chuck in hedges... June: Six-cylinder's DS July: AnnoyingPentium's Fabia FTP August, another tie Six-cylinder's Visa and E-Type Brownnova's 2CV twins September: Six-cylinder's BX rebuilding a la Juular October: Barefoot's Scirocco November: Six-cylinder's Volvo 480 December: RetroShite's Saab 900 January: Juular's Amazon
