Title: new resto
Post by: Peanut on January 26, 2006, 12:15 PM: Appaerently me Mum's just piked up a bike for £3, thought I could do something with it for one of my boys.

My immediate thought was strip it and give it a white haro paint job, got some white 12" mags in the shed.

Post by: gmac on January 27, 2006, 12:27 PM: I keep putting money in my son's bank building society account. He gets all the family allowance, and child credit paid in there, as well as extra bits as and when.

It's well worth it in the long run, cos last year he paid for my drive to be block paved, bless 'im :angel:

Guy ;D
