Sorry Rich, I couldn't make it tonight as being on call I ended up over in Avonmouth at 7pm this evening and then had to come home via the old Severn bridge and Chepstow to miss the 1 hour delay in getting to Cardiff.

But at least I had a nice drive home via Raglan, Abergavenny, Brecon, Llandovery, Llandeilo and then home it made the detour a lot more interesting than the boring drive back down the M4.

It's lucky us Welsh live in God's country.

Not enough Mr Jones as you know, being of Welsh lineage.

Don't deny your Welsh.



That is the try that sealed our victory over England, we beat them 32-31 at our then home stadium at the old Wembley stadium as the Arms Park had been knocked down and the construction of the Millenium stadium was under way.

I never tire of seeing that try, as we beat the Saes in their own back yard whilst playing at home.

Just no mentioning of your Rugby World Cup win and we will get on fine.

It has occurred to me Simon, but having seen the car today Ryan's doing a very good job of matching the panels.

Plus the new windows tints look the mutts nuts.

Some pics from earlier, Ryan has started to 'even' out the paint finishes and make it all look as one.

Having seen the car now I'm very happy happy indeed with the fresh paint.

Thanks Ryan, it's all my own hard work as you know.

I hope you treated Mrs Prodriverules to at least a coffee during the journey.

You're too soft for your own good.

Plus of course, your good lady was not in sight when the folding was exchanged.

I'm really pleased with the colour match which is a massive help when machine polishing the painted/unpainted panels to get a neutral match between them.
It will be unnoticeable to the untrained eye that it has has been done

I blame me too, but I can put up with my own guilt as long as I'm there and besides I will chauffeur Ryan up there myself just to make sure he's present.

Don't get me started, it was only ever going to be a way with Ryan's help to make a little money but that 'employee' of ZSpec is an absolute f***ing w****r.

Thanks but it's all down to Ryan's hard work.

I know I am a selfish ******* it has to be said, it's me first, me second and me third.

Or like I said to you the other day 'Take what you can, give nothing back'.

Perhaps not, but one thing for sure when your car does hit the mean streets of apple scrumping land there won't be another like it, in fact there won't be another like it full stop.

Now get my car out of the way, and then get back on yours (when time and workload allows).

Well with what I have seen that you have in your green storage container and should shape up to be something quite good.
