Hi Brian,
The 45 looks really good, ideal for restoration.
I guesss from your previous post this is a retirement project but am intrigued to know what other projects you have in the country shed!

Hi Rodger, a bit random really ....do you know Chris Gough?
Its one of those small world moments, for my sins I married his sister

 

[Rodger]

Ooh heck... Do I know Chris Gough?

One of the disadvantages of getting old is that I don't remember names that well, faces yes, names, not so good.
The name is sort of familiar but I've been racking what remains of my brain without success, so would I know him from the world of custom cars, motorcycles or off-roading?

What made you ask?

Regards,

Rodger,
He lives just up the road from you on the road out of Cherin heading up to Laroles....just after the right hand corner & turn off to the quarry.
Have had many fun filled nights in the Vidana does Wan still own it

 

[bigizzman]

Sorry for the small hijack, I wish my 45 had he same patina as yours without the ventilation holes...Lol

I bet you finish well before me

 

[Rodger]

Sorry for the off-thread bit... I didn't think of people round here!

Yes, I know Chris. Paths cross occasionally but did you know that he got knocked off his motorcycle last autumn? Was touch and go for a while but he is on the mend, or was last time I saw him.

Juan still owns the Vidana. How come you know the area? Do you know Justin?
So will they know you as bigizzman?

Regards,
