Fantastic. It seems that red ones get so much press that I am excited it is a blue one. And yours looks so good, the best Mica blue one I have seen. =P~

For now................ :pray:

When I read the title of this post I thought the MK1 club was keeping chickens :oops:

Sounds like fun though but a red car would have gone better with the singers hair :thumleft:

Mike, they phoned Pete Kyte, not sure how they got his number :-k , but they needed a dark mk1 & superb condition & someone who lived fairly close to London & who could make it during the daytime, He put them straight onto me, as it happens i mentioned that i have experience as an Extra & she said it was a huge bonus as she wouldnt have to go through the do's & donts whilst on set & as i work in a safety critical enviroment at work this saved her going through all that as well, Since yesterday ive been in contact with them quite a bit & been really accomodating regarding times etc & they said that they have added my name to their register, this means that if they ever need another car they can get in touch & i can always pass this on to another member if i cant make it, ive said that in the not too distant future we will have a "Press pack " that we will send them with all the information on available cars & contact numbers for people in the club to save them the need to trawl through the net for info :thumleft: yet another job for Wayne when the website is up & running :mrgreen: gotta keep you busy Wayne :oldtongue: \:D/ :mrgreen: , Jinxy
