Allegro news. Ratlook is dead. Long live granny-carjack look

[Cavcraft]

Congratulations Louise!

[warren t claim]

Warren's a nice name if you have a boy.

 

Well done!

[Louise2cv]

Thanks everyone, we'll find out if it is Austin or Marina around New-Years... if all goes to plan. Not long now...

[Rusty Pelican]

Congrats Louise , you could sneek in Austin or some other car related name in as a middle name

[Marshall]

If she gets it, could you get her to climb into the boot again and take a photo? Cheers.

 

Hirst,

 

Why is it that i never tire of your posts. You are a funny man (guess I answered my own question there).

 

I seem to remember that you are in the Northern area. Should we sort out a northern meet soon?

 

Who else have we got?

[Mr H Sceptre]

Congrats Louise.

 

Wolseley is a nice name for either a girl or a boy. As is Talbot.

[Tayne]

Connygrats Louise!

 

Holland's got racing twins whose first names are Tim Alfa & Tom Romeo...

[cms206]

Congratulations Louise! You could always go for a YO INIT? street name for your child... Charmant, perhaps... ?!

[barrett]

Clio, Megan(e), Max(i), Violet, Cedric, Estelle, Felicia, Octavia, Samantha, Eveline, Guilietta... how about Tagora?

 

 

(congrats btw)

 

edit: I just remembered I know someone who'se with a German bird called Farina! how about Riley Farina Surname?

Riley Farina Wolseley Tagora Ami 8 Daphine 120Y Cedric 2CV

 

Rolls off the tongue nicely.......

[Louise2cv]

Actually... the middle name for a boy is Tomos, which (as well as being the Welsh form of Thomas, a name that goes through the last 6 generations of Bastocks) I believe is/was a Slovenian Motorcycle manufacturer that made the 2cv, Dyane, Ami and GS under license. So Matt can believe the Welsh/family tradition stuff but we'll all know the truth...

 

We haven't picked a middle name for a girl yet, so there's hope still...

[michiel]

Plenty of Tomoses still around here - the only Dutch moped makers left!

[Justin Case]

Congratulations Louise, I hope that all goes well. Tomos should go down well here, they made a moped which was sold in Woolworths.

 

Does the 1500 Allegro have the AP autobox? If so, avoid. They are complicated, unreliable and cost an arm and a leg to repair

[M'coli]

Congratulations, Louise. Can I nominate Flavia if it's a girl? It's the only thing I remember from doing Latin at school (Ecce Romani if anyone remembers it!!!) "In pictora est puella Romana, nominee Flavia" - in the picture is a Roman girl, called Flavia.

[whitevanman]

Or Samara.........thats my step daughters name .

[Mr Lobster]

Congratulations Louise!

 

My brother in law has Talbot as his middle name, sadly his surname isn't Tagora...

[the barefoot chef]

I've been chuckling at 'Granny Car Jack' for a while,

& I think you need to check out panoramic interior mirrors.

 

Kid = good news,

 

Have you thought about 'Edsel'?

 

Always a winner.

[Richard]

Ecce Romani if anyone remembers it!!!

 

I do. We used to call our Latin teacher Ecce Dewar.

[Guest]

Just going back to the original point, girl in boot photo would be much appreciated.

[Louise2cv]

I did mention it and she now thinks I'm signed up to some kind of "kidnap fantasy" forum...

[Guest]

Autoshite is an international hub of great activity, cunningly disguised as a dozen blokes saving image files into a discreetly-named folder.

[MrDuke]

Hirst, yesterday:

 

 

[dollywobbler]

Thanks. Mr Duke. I've just hurt my nose because I was laughing so much!

[chaseracer]

Congratulations Louise! You could always go for a YO INIT? street name for your child... Charmant, perhaps... ?!

 

Or maybe...

 

 

 

Great news, Lou - all the best to you & Matt

[Richard]

How about Silvia? As an added bonus that would make you Silvia's mother.

[Louise2cv]

Thanks for the congrats and name suggestions boys!

 

I think we should get back to the car though, seeing as soon it'll be even further down my list of responsiblities!

 

Well I took it to the garage in the next village today, the one I mentioned that had 2 morris minors and an Austin 8 on its list of recent jobs and where the owner bought an Ital van for his bro and wanting to re-do BT-stylee...

 

... anyway I decided to just to the valve stem seals and put an MOT on it, see how we go from there.

 

Watch this space! (and cross some fingers maybe )

 

Abby is still after one but can't decide which. I'll keep you posted.

[dollywobbler]

Sell your Allegro to Abby and then she can be come the mad Aunt with the daft old car! (don't use that as a sales line though...) Great way to keep it in the family, and she could lend it to you occasionally for MiL-bothering duties.

[Louise2cv]

NO WAY!

[Cavcraft]

Sell your sister to me and then she can become mad and you'll become an aunty still with your daft old car (don't use that as a sales line though). Great way for me to get her in the family way, and I could lend her back to you for baby sitting duties and whatnot.
