Dave you little devil, you would do better on the carpet!

Not what you think Norm.I meant playing with toys on the linolium,had an A35 van for other playthings 
.
Cheers Dave.
Yes I think we spoke about that before, I remember going to Hemsby in my Morris minor and my A35 van camping in the 1965/66 era.

Thats when I bought mine in 1966 Norm,it was 1098 engine and pulled like a train.A cracking little van.then part exed it for a Ford Anglia which I didn’t like.I only kept that for ten months,got a mark two Cortina with a 1500 engine,just before the crossflow engines came in,that was a great car.
Cheers Dave.
Dave I got rid of mine at Banbury, I got a yellow ford classic then a Singer Vogue then a Mercedes white, Vauxhall cavilier, then a new Fiat Tipo turbo diesel I had for 13years then my last one Blue Peugeot 306 estate diesel which I had for 8 years, oh and before the singer I had the first water cooled VW also white singer was grey.
Here’s some of my more recent one’s Norm,all automatics with hand controls.
New in 1986.
New in 1989
New in 1992
Last car I had new in April 1998.
First van I had on hand controls bought second hand in late 1998.
Cheers Dave.
Dave are you starting a car hire firm, nice to see them, I have got a few of my cars photo’s even my A35 van.
Harry, you thought I was made of money, what about our Dave with that fleet of cars, do you think he might be one of those " Secret Millionaires".
Norman Ingram:
Harry, you thought I was made of money, what about our Dave with that fleet of cars,
I only had one at a time Norm,each one was sold when the other came along.The Vectra was kept for only two years,then sold for a pittance,as it wasn’t getting used after I bought my red transit.
I only have two vans because I can’t sell my transit,its been advertised for four months,but have had no buyers.The fact that its done 250,000 miles doesn’t help.
It still looks as new,pic taken in January.
Cheers Dave.
At least you get around quite well, good on you mate, you enjoy yourself while you are able, don’t tell Harry, I am going after the 40 million this friday, whether I get it is another matter but while I am in swinging I have a chance. Missed a 20/1 winner of charlton’s but made up for it on sunday, I done my 5pew lucky 63 had 3 winners 2 seconds and a third, then done £2ew singles and double on a 14/1 winner & 9/1 third of charlton horses, and picked up £155,
Harry , Roger Charlton let me down today, he had a non runner, a second, and two nowhere, but I kept my loses down, by not putting much on.
I am going to try my luck on the Derby with Native Khan, I have got a horse as Prince Honalulu used to say many years ago!

hiya,
It was Prince Monolulu Norm last time i saw him was at Haydock Park i’d only be in my twenties yes i bought information from him, and as is my usual form it was nowhere. Harry Gill. Bookies friend signing off.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry my eyes are getting bad, I thought I had put a “M”, I was in with a shout until the two favourites came flying by. I know when we was at epsom three mates went for a tip in the same race, and he gave all three a different horses, what a con!
Back to the Middle East, my daughter got me a book for fathers day, " Cola Cowboys" it is brand new, it was written by the journalist Franklyn Wood, I am on page 73 out of 319, I can see it would be interesting to HGV drivers who never went to the middle east! Whether TIR drivers who went ? but I will devulge what I think when I have completed the book, at this moment it seems to be a collection of tales from drivers that has been cobbled together by this author, dangerous in Belgium ? any major city in the world if you go to the wrong area you will find trouble! Low bridges in Czechoslovakia, the only ones which I encountered were in Prague and after bringing down a few cables, I learnt a way around to advoid them, cobble stones, yes you have them all the way down in the eastern block, but potholes I never saw many of those until I got to Turkey. But I will read on, it will be interesting to find out what it is like to be a "Middle East Driver ". by the way the price of the book ordered at Waterstones was £9.95
