Title: Jeep ont he A1
Post by: Redbeast on August 28, 2007, 10:19:26 am

Small world innit?  Friday afternoon went down the A1 to Ipswich to see the outlaws and somewhere around Retford i speeds past this Jeep with a trailer.  The two int he front start waving frantically out the windows.  I think who are these two charlies then?  SO I gawp as i go past, slowing a little and lo and behold it's Dave and Jim off to Germany to collect the Supra!

its a feat i certainly dont wish to repeat in a hurry! i drove through brid at 4am to see all my mates stood outside the nightclub taking the *BLEEP*!  :D

the damage looks bad, but he's managed to source a bumper and wings - there are a few other bits that need replacing, he still has his old lights and already had an FMIC ready to go on, so she should be back on the road very soon hopefully  :)

nah get someone to make nice big £££££ reciepts so Jim can recoup more than his loss, and get a few quid in his pocket to do a few things, if the guy at the ring was up front and honest i wouldn't be saying this but he was a tosser and denying he was at fault so swindle as much outta him as possible
