Doing a Tony & Linda

[Panrixx]

Sorry Brian but only having 2 surfs doesn't qualify for Tony & Linda status.... you need at least 4 and the odd pickup

Well I know they are not all Surfs but between the wife and I we currently own (privately):

1995 Manual KZN130 Surf (On the road)
1993 Auto KZN130 Surf (On the road)
2000 Auto Corvette C5 (On the road)
1998 Manual Toyota Rav4 (On the road)
1993 Citroen ZX 1.9TD (On the road)
1985 BMW 635CSi (Off the road)
1990 Honda Pan European (Off the road)
1955 Ariel Square Four in a 1957 Norton Featherbed Frame (Off the road and mainly in boxes)
2000 Bobcat 1.5T Digger and trailer (bought to carry out house/large garden renovation work)

Plus, I used to be a motorcycle and motor mechanic in my youth.

Surely, that qualifies us for honery Tony and Linda status??

P.S. The Citroen will go when it dies, but is refusing to do so. The Rav4 will go when my wife decides she can comfortably get on with her new Surf.

Had two boxers but lost one last year and not quite ready to replace him yet.

Have loads of rabbits in the garden (wild), pair of resident Moor Hens, Heron visits almost daily, loads of Moles, hundred plus Rudd and two plus Rainbow Trout and next door neighbour has two horses and a minature shetland poney - am I getting close?

I hear the 2.4 that's for sale is a particularly fine example.....

I'm going to come and move it tomorrow, I promise.

As for the 'V6 2nd gen surf - sold awaiting collection", that will be gone soon too. I promise even more, because I actually want that one. Just need my good friends at the London Borough of Hackney to agree that I am allowed to park on the empty street outside my house....

I've got snails in my compost bin and a cat. There was a frog in the garden, but he seems to have gone. And the cat seems a little fatter.

Linda,

I think you have out done me on quantity of motors but I can match the 2 push bikes and garden tractor.

I can only claim 2 deer (see photo) that came within a few yards of our property.

I forgot to mention the Canadian Geese that come every year to nest, have chicks and then leave within a few days.

Ahh and Tony tells me I have forgotten 2 surfs as well as lots of worms in the muck heap...

Shall we stop now before this gets any sillier??

Yes, I think that might be a good idea but I think it was probably worth doing the audit, for both of us!!
