egg Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 What time did he say he would collect it ? 'morning'. It's fine, you've got a let a man get on with his job, but if nothing in an hour, I'll check in with him. Otherwise I'll be in the dentists chair at the time he arrives, lol. somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Of course it's 'epic' FFS, he's rescuing an incredibly rare and quirky car that should have been scrapped years ago. Good luck, Egg, can't wait to read more as it happens. LightBulbFun, UltraWomble, Vince70 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbenn Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 If a colour were to be assigned to this, then I think brown would currently be a good call. Hope something can be sorted out.

mrbenn Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I can imagine the conversation at the dentist's after Egg has left.... "Nurse, you gave that patient far too much painkiller.
