Default People can be good too!!!

Due to circumstances pretty much beyond my control I had to leave my Spec C parked at the roadside for three weeks halfway between a 7-11 and a pub on the outskirts of Basingstoke.

It was either that or miss a long awaited three weeks away fulfilling a lifelong dream.

I did get my father in law to fit locking nuts on the wheels - but he cannot drive so I could not get him to move it somewhere more discrete.

Anyway - I arrived back to find it completely unmolested and just as I left it.

So the bad 'uns are not as pervasive as sometimes they seem!

I feel blessed

Yet another post proving you are a miserable hunt

I suspect if someone had had their car stolen we would have have six pages of miserable whinging about New Labour, country going to the dogs, etc, etc.

Indeed. Robin is getting somewhat desparate with his posts these days.

Its nice to get some positive posts for a change

Dave, in all seriousness though - could you not have found someone to collect the car for you?

Yeah - I caught quite a few - biggest was five pounds on a huge 1 mile wide ocean flat that was around 6-10in deep with ultra clear water.

Most amazing fish was a ten pound permit caught on fly whilst casting to bonefish - it went 180m on its first run. Took 21 minutes to get in which is by far the longest fight of any fish I have ever caught.

Now that is a real dream. I used to spent ages praying that the VC10 would go u/s when we landed in Belize so that we could stay in one of those hotels on the islands just off the coast. Darn thing always stayed serviceable!

Glad to hear it Dave - mind you, I'd be jealous if I saw your Spec C in the street too ! (But I'd admire it rather than damage it !).
