Rude awakening 2010

Morning all-well yesterday the sun came out so me and my son thought it\'d be a good time to wake up Neville after his extended hibernation. Haven\'t seen him for a few weeks and open the door to find a blimmin cat had been in there.

Anyways, after some fresh petrol and a little help from the Discovery he fired third time and after making a ... of myself and doing a little jig we coaxed him out.

Glad to say he still runs sweet as a nut so hopefully will get through this season of events with no hiccups and will carry out the planned extensive surgery later in the year.

Polished up ok too!:InLove

Look forward to seeing you all throughout the year hopefully! I know this isn\'t really topic worthy but it made me feel better after all the rubbish weather and there\'s nothing like a 1st gen to cheer us up.

(No Yorkies were harmed in the making of this thread):cool

Nice one!
I really like that colour on a series 2. There used to be a couple of Elfords around here in that colour back in the day.

Lovely, never seen Neville properly.
And how lucky...the cat has decided you and Nev are worthy of it\'s presence..smashing, love \'em to bits.
Once my garage was exactly the same. Now it\'s bigger, brickier but just as full of \'useful goods and equipment\'

Oh it\'s 80\'s too the max alright! All I need is a kipper tie.

David, I stared at that shed for 10 minutes trying to see anything worthy of being labeled useful and failed so all I can think is you have a way better imagination than I have haha.
