I am a cyclist and always have been. It's a French term which is frequently used by cyclists to indicate respect for another's achievements. By saying "chapeau", which literally means "hat", the rider is doffing his cap to a colleague for a good day's riding.
E85. 2.5i SE. 2004. Sterling grey, anthracite 107s, black leather heated seats, hardtop, sound gen retrofit, matt black grills, stubby, zhp, cupholders retrofit, roof motor in boot.

I’m Maltese born (father British/ RAF) although left Malta 1993 and in uk since 1998.

XEWKA indeed means Thorn as in “Thorn in my side” :) (also used for fish bone yes).

The car and plate are the response to a very long and painful divorce .... :( :(




Ahh, makes sense. I feel your pain. Lovely car and plate. :thumbsup:

The avatar is one of my dogs, Koko. Her name is more interesting; its because she's chocolate and her KC name is "West Woodside Knock-out."
Hi guys
Your username is a straightforward and practical choice, incorporating your initials and maintaining consistency across various platforms.
