Like you I don't understand why people shut their cars away for the winter (unless you live in a climate that's regularly snowbound and sees -20 C), these cars are designed to work in harsh environments :idunno:
Anyway, looked like a great and rewarding journey, good luck with the proposal and keep us all updated and guys, it's not how and where you propose, it's the unexpectedness that's important.

.Sorry to hear about your mate.
Good luck with the proposal. I was very nervous!! Make it special you only want to do this once. My wife was as impressed with how i done it as she was with the ring.

LOL we went away for my birthday many years ago now!! So the wife was expecting the weekend to be all about me. Well we had booked a nice Hotel in Bath. And on the way there we stopped at a folly (Beckford's Tower) on the way. Well, i had arranged to have some chocolates and a bottle of champagne waiting at the top for us.
So when we got to the top I drooped to one knee half knackered and out of breath. Then stumbled my way through telling her why she was the woman i want to spend the rest of my life with. I asked she said yes. I ate chocolate she drank champagne (i was driving) Happy ever after

That's good going. How did you get the booze and chocolate up the hill?
Just a bit of pre organizing and gressing the palms of the people that ran the place.

See that's perfect, completely oblivious to what's happening and thus such a surprise when it's happening. The more complicated you make it the harder it is to conceal what's happening..... well done monkey
Thanks Sars.
I must remind my wife what a great husband i am soon. She thinks she is a garage/car widow at the moment!!

Brutal day today. The RAF had a few typhoons fly over the church. Very sad all in but a good group of lads had an impromptu game of rugby in the nant hotel in Prestatyn which was amazing considering it was a bar with very little space was class haha. A lot of war stories were told and Ben Hilton Woosey AKA Paris were honoured as anyone would expect.
"Paris" - of course... :roll:Rorybeanbutler said:
I worked with a guy who we all knew as 'Energizer' because he was full on all over the place like the Energizer bunny. Wasn't until one day I had to ask his boss where he was that I realised I had no idea what his actual name was (after knowing him for about 2 years). Bit embarrassing, but his boss eventually clued me in and put me out of my misery.
