Hoi-Hoi :)

I got an estimate from a reputable garage for repairing the bonnet that opened rather violently on the motorway #-o :shock:

"-The beer tastes a lot better in London i'm sure...wink, wink"
That's an honest estimate =D>

As my list of "wants" grows, it dawned on me that it might be wiser to fly over to London and buy one.
Then stuff it full of the other bits I need.
I'll save on one (rather costly) ferry crossing, and there's only so much that will fit in the back of our lovely cab anyway.

I noticed an ad from Cricklewood Carriers Cab Co. in the latest LVTA magazine. They are selling off their Fairway cabs at a fixed price of £1K plus VAT, serviced & MOT'd
Or there's always eBay again, worked out fine last time :)

Then there's the question of trying to find a one, or two-stop shop for bits'n bobs.
Perhaps a roof rack just in case, L.Rover was it??

A trip to Bristol is in the cards as well, can't leave without a couple of pints of my favourite tipple, Bath Ales.
Ohh! And Fuller's in London of course. A Black Cab Stout, or twelve...
and...
and...

Get to the ferry man!!!

Suggestions more than welcome :wink:

Thank You and all the BEST!

Thankfully my dear wife replied "let's go this summer" when I suggested the idea =D> =D>

All well cared for 15 year old cabs are off the road in London you might get one that needs nothing doing to it for a while

There's still a very few Fairways left. P159SHV spotted last week plated 'till 03.02.14!! And R233SLH has 'till 13.12.13. Always supposing nothing serious breaks, I guess.
