Blimey you got sharp eyes. Sorry I was offline fro a few days so couldn't oblige.

Here is it, i don't have so many pictures so it's a bit lame. As soon as they're running well I kind of loose interest and start looking for the next one to do. I bought it in Feb for the princely sum of 50 Euro! It still had a test 'till Sept and I got another 2 years test in Sept so a bit of a winner really:

It's a Escort Tennis I believe.

Some top German reg plate spots there guys! The funny thing is the Germans just don't seem to understand this kind of humour. For example the German word for anus is after and believe it or not After Eights are very popular here...WTF Anus Eights??? But no one seems to find it funny...I've been here for more than 17 years and I am still practically hammering the floor whenever I see them in the supermarket.

Another weird thing is how many people have a swear word for their surname. Wanker, fucker I've seem them all. Apparently you can get a free deed pole change if you do have such a surname but such names are still relatively common.

Imagine my delight when I saw a van with Fucker Brothers on the side of it, and here they are http://www.formenbau-gf.de/

Wierd.

I do like a 90 spec cabriolet

I had myself another daughter today. :) Mrs T was in labour for 45 mins before popping out a 7 Ib 1 oz baby girl!, It's amazing to think that after 9 years and 4 failed IVF treatments what we were told that we couldn't have children before our first one came along two years ago, and then we was told again that we couldn't have children and low and behold then a second one arrives, goes to show that the doctors don't always get it right.

 

Can't say that I'm looking forwards to all the black nappies and sleepless nights again though!

Congratulations to you and mrs trigger. All the best for the future. Looking like little lady wanted her first Christmas. Have a great new year too.

She was in shock for a while with the shakes and everything but calmed down about a hour later, she's staying in the hospital over night as they want to run some checks in the morning and Dorothy had a birth mark under her nose they want to check over.

 

No such excitement sadly with the collecting them, I can't even collect them in the Rover as thats in the in laws garage!

What a lovely name. Congratulations.

My mum's name was Dorothy, good to see old names making a comeback

 

Dad had VW vans in the 70s so we'd get put in the back on a mattress at 3am and wake up on holiday , it was magical, apart from the time he took evasive action on the motorway and I woke up in mid air

Looking at this picture of Kim Jong-Un earlier made me realise that North Korea are starting to remanufacture Leyland Princess displacers - good news for Vulgalour!

My great little house pet Cobbley was looking bored recently so I got him a ball to play with. Look at that happy grin on his face. He's such an easy to keep pet, I think everyone should have one.

Try 2 at once, we always thought oh well it must be much harder for people with triplets.

Then we met someone with triplets who said they though quads would be harder when it got tough.

I suppose this is a grin...

 

Laying about at home this morning I suddenly felt compelled to go to the front window, as I'm lazily gazing to the outside world what do I spot right down the street? A Red Mk2 Rover 800 saloon...

 

Now I'm thinking this must be that Red Rover 800 that belongs to an old fella I know of who moved to this area from Brum...but hang on, he phoned me up a month or so back to explain he was taking his car off the road as it suffered some massive engine problem. As I waited patiently by the window and the car came into prooer view, it turns out it definitely isn't the old fella's car as this one has alloys and is a different reg. I whip out the camera and take a rather crap but at least seeable photo.

 

Yep. Rover 800s have seemingly taken over my mind and soul. I hope I don't end up suffering with head-gasket failure or crap electrics.

Luxury!

 

My dad had a mini van that he put bucket seats in, so we got the front seats loose in the back. Taught me to read the road to know when to hang on though.

 

LUXURY!!  ;)

 

Some kids don't know they're born!  We didn't even HAVE seats in the back of Dad's 850 van from 1967 to when he bought an Avenger in mid-73; once we graduated from carry-cots we were just left loose!  :o

 

Good point on the road-reading.
