Thought I'd updated this! lol So, the new leather seats we refurbed are now fitted along with the wood trim for the dash/centre console. Also fitted the leather gear surround and handbrake cover.

Think the interior is really transformed now, kinda made our own wee limited edition.

Me too only just seen it. Looks great!!!

LOL been done for a while now chaps. Today was the first time she's turned a wheel since around End of October, not been started since then either! Due to us preparing for the move to the new house, One side of the garage is full of stuff from the loft. Went out today as I had a plan to get DD's winter wheels fitted now that the snow is here.

So fired up Mindy (first flick of key and running sweet as a nut! B) ) and moved her out of garage, took her a wee soin up the road to the roundabout and back. Then moved all the stuff to her side of the garage. This leaves the side that DD (the easy side to drive into) free so I can store Mindy, then if need be move her out to work on DD. DD's ghetto wheels have caused a saga....read all about it in her thread! No Happy!

Not exactly supple it's quite hard.

It's not too far down mate, in a wee village called Stow. It's 7 miles outside Galasheils, and it was top of our list of places to live in the borders. We never dreamed we'd be able to get a house there as the prices (when they do come up for sale, which aint often) is way above what we could afford. But this wee cottage came up, semi detached, 3 bedrooms, massive (as in bloody Huge!) living room and tons of land! On one side there is the old ruins of a church which is illuminated at night and looks stunning (and the neighbours are dead quiet!) and on the other side, another big church, then acorss the road it's the river and a view out over the hills. It's bloody amazing! We only got it cheap though as it needs renovated (so electrics, windows, possibly heating) and the interior is like stepping into the 70's! A lot of work but we are really looking forward to getting stuck in. Oh, and there's a massive long driveway, a single brick garage with a car port to the side and Gayle has told me I've to get another double garage same as the one here built!

We spend a fair bit of time going down for lunch at the weekend in the village, people there are so nice.

 

Gayle has also said that as the drive is so long (you basically turn into our drive off a small lane and it is like a road through the garden right along the rear garden) we could start a civic5 meet there! has even suggested if memebers wanted to they could bring tents and camp  in the garden!! Oh the possibilities!

Sounds amazing mate! Sounds like everything you ever need. Long drive, car port, garage etc! I laughed at camping part as would be wild! 

 

Car looking sweet too mate :)
