We have had sad news and the passing of our beloved Winny (Renault Trafic Rapport 2.2 petrol 1995).
She lost her fight to rising rot and galloping damp. The man at the MOT station said there was nothing that could be done short of spending a small fortune, which we did last year, so we have had to let go and are now on the look out for a replacement.

You have our condolences.

It's not just a matter of money but one of losing a valued possession. I remember how I felt after my Lambretta Li 150 was written off by a blind motorist coming out of a road junction.

It was probably worth about £200 by then but I had had it for 18 years!

Never felt the same about any bike since.:cry::cry:

Have you considered, (per chance), a dignified *FUN* p**s up and Viking Style funeral?? :)

Thanks Maison. It is amazing how attached one can get, having said that, we got here 2 years ago as a tester to MHing and have not looked back, learnt a lot very quickly, had Hi's and Lo's and have an appetite for a hell of a lot more. As soon as we have the wheels we will be off again.

Thanks Tootles :LOL::LOL: Its already beer o'clock:drinks: trawling tint'er click for adverts; Winnie will proberbly end up a 4' cube

Hmmm, two things come to mind.
1) there's nothing dignified about a Fun pissup.
2) don't Viking funerals involve a bit of floating? If the tin worm has been at work it may not float at all.

Next idea Toots.

No, no Paul, your missing the point............

A big field, surrounded by motorhomes.......And in the middle, stacked for through ventilation, an array of railway sleepers. Perched on the top is Winny, resplendent in the setting sun....Nearby, Griff is persecuting bergers and blackened sausage, (as he often does), on a large barbie. All around, *FUNSTERS* are dancing, clutching chilled beers and fine wines, wearing horned helmets. Suddenly, a huge WHOOSH, as Gary throws a lighted rag torch into the pyre......And as the flames take hold, and to the fervent cringing wail of 40 ukelele's, the dancing becomes wild, uncontrollable......*FUNSTERS* rip off their clothes, cavorting naked in the flames of a now burning Winny........Bodies fall to the grass, in scenes of wild copulation......screams of delight fill the air...........:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Or, off to the scrappy in a four inch block one rainy day. You choose.......:(

Good man!! Believe me, the sheer site of Dawn B naked on the grass would arouse the most impotent man. Ask Dux. (y)
Oi, back off from taking @Dawn B 's name in vain. She is now my bestest friend in the whole world. She made me a box of vanilla fudge which she gave to me at Peterborough. I was invited to her palatial Norfolk home. The lodge keeper was advised of my impending visit and the gates swung open on my arrival. I was directed to park in the space normally reserved for use by @DuxDeluxe. Tea was taken on the lawn whilst my dog was allowed to pee all over the flowers. I was taken on a guided tour of the potting sheds, the duck pond, the hobby house, the crop garden and given full instructions of my purchase, (no guarantee implied or offered).
We were bid a farewell as we made our way back to our humble Essex abode.
A fine day out with a lovely couple (y)

How the hell did I get dragged into this? ;) Sat here minding my own business and feeling a little persecuted by Shifty plucking my half feathers out and burning off all my chest down and now I'm supposed to cavort on the grass as some sort of primitive Tootlian ritual (they don't half make them strange in Lancaster)

It was going to be a peaceful early nigh.......:crying:

Tea on the lawn? Are you sure you weren't about to be pushed down the slope into the pond? Did Dawn B have a manic glint in her eye?? :Eeek:

The way Dawn usually drags you, by your totem pole mate. Admit it, you have the 'hots' for her. I could tell by the way you pulled out your water pistol and squirted up her frock at Peterborough. (y)(y)(y)
