Hope you all saw my article in Sprint this month? Well, Sparkles is now for sale, as we're buying a new T350T.
He's been fun, he's had some jaw dropping moments, he's fantastic with the roof off, and his owner is currently fast asleep whilst I upload my new website!
So I shall say goodbye to my favourite car in six weeks or so, and to the next owner - as in that old song by Bobby Vee (I'm not that old-I looked it up!)- 'take good care of my baby'

It's going to be Spectraflair, with a portland & nimbus interior, with a little touch of mulberry stitching. Ooh, can't wait!!

Hi Jo

Only just got my Sprint through, but recognised that car and photos immediately! I look forward to reading it through. Nice car, and I'm sure you'll have just as much fun when the T350T arrives. Nice choice - for both cars!

Hi Bryan

Finished that awesome project of yours yet?!!

I'm sure the new car will bring on more articles, I've just got to think of a new name! It'll be sad to see Sparkles go, but I have got some stunning pics to remind me of him!

I'm sure it would assist a sale if you were photographed in your French PJs on the bonnet, blondemoment.

Working on it right now (well I would if I was not so easily distracted). Should be finished very soon!
Thanks again Jo.

Hi Jo,
Loved the feature, I'm so glad the French invested that heavily in their scenery and road infrastructure, then bugg***d up on their car design's.This has left it up to all us Brits, to enjoy what was in their minds. Joking aside, with so much countryside and virtiually no traffic to contend with, "your walk on the natural side has hopefully gone unoticed? Now that I have got my hands on the hotel security tapes, offers in the region of £15 per copy exc P&P "used notes preferably" to my home address please.

Best Regards,

James Sim.

Hi Jo,
I've read the article and I can certainly identify with the joys of driving in France. I can't wait for my next adventure there.

Sounds like you really ended up in one nightmare place though!

Presentation nearly finished, project completely finished. Only spent 11 hours on it today..

Anyway, I'm off to bed, PJ's or no PJ's!!

Jo, it is about 8Mb. Let me know if its OK to mail it. The report is a mere 3,000 words - so that's easy enough!

Thanks
