In hafan marina. I actually spoke to him for a few seconds last year, as it was on a trailer just outside of the office one night. I work security, so they probably thought i was checking up on them etc, but i wasn't, i was interested in the car lolQuote:

That antibes (if it actually is one) has seen better days
Great pics Kieran. Lots of Novas over there by the looks. I've been watching your videos some rapid cars over there! Will your dad or the Harris be taking their cars back over at any point?
There's quite a few of them on the tiny island! My dad wants to go back over there every year but the ferries just make it difficult as the ones that we used before don't run anymoreQuote:

Since then I sort of wondered if he had just nodded politely, but on Friday I was in the area and saw it parked on a driveway. Parked up and had a nose to see if it was taxed, then knocked the door.
Ended up in the house with the pair of pensioners chatting again, really nice people. The old boy went to the cupboard and pulled out the V5 with my details paper-clipped to it, and said that this summer he has to take another test which he's not going to bother with, so hopefully it will be mine soon.
Apparently people approach him daily, weather it be Oval racers, Scrap merchants or Enthusiasts, but he only ever kept my details, which was good to hear.
The Hella grill is gone, he has re-fitted the original due to persistent blown bulbs, and he has clipped the mirror, but other than that its still straight and tidy.
Took another pic as I left.

spotted this yesterday, found the pic off ebay. He'd only had it a day as well, must be really eagle eyed lol

it took some time to get a price range out of the old guy, so I had to start low and he doubled it! Then we agreed, at a reasonable price.Quote:
