Default Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen

Sixteen years ago today, at 14:37, my Baby came off the production line at Longbridge . She's now legally old enough to smoke - I do hope she doesn't !















Her second birthday (like the Queen, she has 2 each year ) will be on 30th May, when it will be 16 years since first registration.

Cliff

Cheers Bob. Any news from the bodyshop regarding Bananas progress? Must be quite an exciting time for you. Are they taking any photos of the work as it progresses?

No news as of yet. No idea if they are photographing the process, I forgot to ask. Been a week now without ole Yella, but at least the other two are keeping me on my toes.

If ready by the time of the National then I'll bring Banana. If not then it will be the Bear.
