Default Surprise Surprise.

Good evening how's everyone doing hope your all keeping okay and doing during these difficult times were in.

Its been Crazy over here in sheep Land wales mainly that i haven't stopped working since this whole thing started plus as well been really busy recently and showing a lot of support for my girlfriend as she lost father a 2months ago and its really hit the family hard.

I never got a chance too meet him due too poor health but by what stories I've been told he would have got on like a house on fire.

Loved his Motorsport and also was a racing driver himself when you lived in Bristol where he originally lived before moving too Wales back in the late 80's and never went back too Bristol.

Been there for Samantha from day one.

Also been doing a lot of delivery's of Covid 19 test kits too hospitals in my new motor a Other Ford Escort Mk6 but this time a estate version I only like the escort mk'6s and ZTT's never been much of a estate fan at all but my god am i starting too appreciate these motors for what they can carry.

Manged too almost complete my Christmas shopping which I've done well in advance so almost there with that.

Its been hectic too say the least at the same time i do like too keep busy as much as possible.

Keeps me very focused and as my girlfriend keeps telling me I'm very driven.

Which is a very good thing.

Hope your all keeping well.

Hi Dave, good to hear from you again. She says you are very driven, but who has the car keys?

What wheels do have these days? Are you still a Probe owner? Glad to hear that you’ve weathered the Wales lockdown and are doing well. Take it steady.

Hiya Paul how are you doing how are things and how's this beloved motors of yours doing.

hahaha I know do as she doesn't have a driving licence............. YET.
But when next year starts Samantha really wants too get a behind the wheel and drive. Perfect excuse too buy other MG

I'm in a market for one as a backup car incase the ford escort decided too break down has to be a ZTT or a 75 tourer.

No the Ford Probe was sold 2 weeks ago to my mate Andy yank who's local too me its gone too a good home I miss it but i don't miss the fuel economy on it at 15 mpg it was just a tad bit of a gas gussler.

Plus as well too get it how i want it again it will be easier too buy other ford probe and start from scratch as there still cheap too buy and i have contacts on where they are.

Its been manic here too say the least but were doing good and still working though the entire thing and provide for our family's.

Its been positive in terms of work not really done much else apart from changing cars all the time.

Samantha's getting its still very raw plus hertitance family feud and also boys which I've taken on as my own are really missing there granddad its been very tough.

But she is slowly getting there , once this year is over hopefully things start too get a bit easier and some sort normality should return, well if Covid cases go down that is and that's the big question.

We're all doing our bit only thing is that everyone is not taking this damn thing seriously. There's even people thinking that the whole thing is a joke about covid and that its other way of the government too control us.

There was a even a protest by Bangor university and all the Muppets came out to play social distancing went completely out the window

Just hoping the rest of the public see sense I hope.

Hiya Ian hope your keeping okay and doing well.

Great too hear from you too.

Covid situation hasn't affected me too much in terms of work in fact its greatly increased with very little time off at the same time making the most of it and build my savings up nicely and making the odd scarifcaes of selling the 75 and ford probe project cars have really helped towards that.

I miss them both but had too grow up at some point.

Family life is good and who knows maybe next year if me and Samantha goes the distance which I'm very sure we will we could have our very own little together as well.

and that's one future I'm very looking forward too.

I agree with you that the pandemic is certainly not a joke Dave and it is good to see you posting again.

Your avvy, have you changed it?
