Jood Racer your joking that car is kept in a bubble in the garage when not at shows,only comes out for about 15 shows a year except for work on it an cleaning it husband takes between 6-8 hours each time

Nutter - you'd know by now I dont know much about cars pmsl - my neighbour from a long time ago was mad about Daimlers, had about 4 of them, all stashed away in garages around the town. They were always breaking down when he took them out! Jood

Hi all will post message first then go back and catch up. Well message from the Queen, yes, I popped down and visited. she is very well and very chirpy (her word) but still quite sore, hasn't got the path results back maybe tomorrow. She sends her love to everyone. Pam I too got caught up in the aftermath of another horrendous crash on the M1, it'll be on the news tonight, would have happened about an hour after I passed by this morning the road is still blocked and looks likely to be until about 10pm so they said on the news. So tragic, shakes you up. Luv Jillx

Hi Mo, just tried ringing you, landline and mobile, got that birth cert back from Ireland today, interesting, will ring again in a mo, sorry about the pun but it was just there. Luv Jill

Hi Wattlers, First Trifley, Sorry I haven't managed to get down to see you, Neville's been a bit under the weather, think it may be his gall bladder playing up. Anyway, when you feel more up to it we would love to have you out here for lunch. The country air will blow away all the cobwebs. I will leave it up to you. It's great to have you back among us. Lew, I printed out the sign and it is now framed and hanging proudly in his music room. Hope you get fixed up with a nice new car. You should get a Toyoto Pruis, but I think there may be a long waiting list. An american company is making a film out here called the Condemned. A few of the roads are blocked but it hasn't inconvenienced us yet. Just trying to find out who is in it. Laurie I hope all is well with you and your friends. Fanny, I am having trouble with the weights, I think I must have tennis elbow or something, but I can't lift with my left arm. Everything else is okay. Vonny, why do we woman always seem to get inolved in our OH's hobbies. LOL Do you get much assistance with your FH? I don't. Maybe it's better that way LOL Hope everyone is well, how did the cake come out Jill and where is the photo? Good to have you back Lara, how is sunny far north Queensland? Well, sad to say I have to love you and leave you Bye for now SuzyQ

Mary I'm so happy for you, it sound a really lovely place with a swimming pool etc, Will get back to you re your elusive Joseph, you prob haven't the time at the moment anyway, take care. Lew a friend of mine has just bought a oops I've forgotten, I think it's a vardis no it's a tardis, no thats Dr.Who's car, ah I know a Yaris and loves it but Honda's are great cars too. luv Jillxx

Afternoon Wattlers. Still raining in Mudgee and aren't we all very happy. It's about time! Suzy, I'm sooo pleased Neville loved that picture. It just cracked me up when Alison sent it. Trifley, how you going today? A visit from another Wattler I see. We aren't going to leave you alone! lol. Terry has just been into town and spoken to a former car salesman. He reckons value for money, it's the Hyundai Elantra. All the bells and whistles and for the right price. I'll let you know some time tomorrow afternoon. Vonny, that video you sent was hysterical. Don't send it to Trifley just yet. She'd laugh too much and it would hurt, lol. Seeya Lew xxx

Mary, so pleased for you. happy moving :) Lew Lew, we have a Subaru Forrester- they are a bit more expensive but the all wheel drive is great for the country and the 4-wheel drive marvelous for the bush. You really can go off road in them and the height clearance is better in the newer models. We have it for camping and pulling the boat. The boat was complete when we got it - except for the rotting planks, the worm-eaten holes, the wood-rot and decay and the missing pieces LOL. it even had a rusted engine. Hubby likes a challenge. And no, SusyQ, he doesn't help with FH at all!!! (although he was very appreciative for his tree!) he dislikes computers!!! ~~~~~~~~~ to Lara and Trifley. Lew Lew, glad you liked it. I had the same thought about Trifley. Will send it on to others tomorrow - I come back to full speed then - as it took about half and hour to send to you! It is a video clip though and I've forgotten who amoung the Wattlers didn't want large downloads. Could you remind me please? and I won't send it. Busy this evening, might be on late. Vonny

Thank you Lara for your belated birthday wishes. I had a great day with lots of cards, messages, phone calls and visits. It makes one feel very special. Thanks for the info Vonny. I just need a little runabout for me. We already have a big Nissan Challenger and you'd be surprised just what an ordinary sedan can do in the country. I use to drive my old 1982 Commodore around the paddocks mustering cattle. You really don't need a 4WD for a lot of situations. Mary, surely you're too young for a retirement village! Can't wait to see the photos. Which suburb is it in? Lew Lew xxx

Vonny, those with broadband (for that video) are me, Lew, Anna, Tassie & Judy 2 (flakey) Those with dial up are Shaz Those with broadband but limited downloads are Pam, Sandra and SuzyQ. No-one else replied, so I dont know what they have. Jood

just saw a note about replyers, presume thats today?i've got nice broad band with a fair limit. sorry, i've been working heaps today, been out since 8.30, just got in and threw dinner down. have got 1 more effort. need a shower desperately as have been playing with cadavers this arvo. catch ya about 9.30. love from (smelly )Yvette x

just had a quick read, i've got a sly blue , poverty pack, 1983 volvo. i'm nice to it and its nice to me. just doesn't like going too fast. i would like a new one though (dreaming ) + will pm you suzi, and hanging out for the casino thing xxxx yd

Yes it has been cold in the West today and very wet. Jill and I finally caught up on the landline and spoke for an hour. Are there any other sister Wattlers out there Hmmm that sounds wrong.

ooooh Jood I did reply, I'm lucky I have unlimited, only cause of the business, prob all change when Roniebaby retires luv Jillx
