Hi all, Just a quicky to say merry xmas and happy holidays from here in the uk. Drive safely! Rik (95 tdi disco, Classic rangie bobtail)

96 300tdi with a 73 classic bobtail sat on the back.....

sorry its made the page big.... :-s Oh and jgw50... I could be that mate of yours.... I wish I had the metalwork!!! Rik

Hmmm.. http://www.rikstaboogie.com/images/hospital/11_01_05_rik_plasterpain/index.htm I was playing roller hockey, I turned this way... then that... 'SNAP'... then I spent a week in hospital and 3 months in plaster... The boss at work felt sorry for me so let me back to work after 6 months...
