might need a hand/arm or two if any one fancys helping me out, really wanna start putting it back together.

I'll zip down the A21 one night if you need me Tone, just let me know when.

Im free and able ,as not working at moment
Let me know, as im bored silly with daytime TV:doubleup:

We could pop down and help in some way buddy:doubleup:

I will help you mate.

I just want to see the scoob in Germany.

Dont know what good I would be though,

I can make a good cupa. :lol:

if i can help in anyway mate just shout,after all you've done me plenty of favours

Thanks people :) will find out about operation tommorrow , then i will know how long iam out of action for, The plan was to get the car back on its wheels to it can be pushed about, the mazda needs to go back on the ramp in about 4-6 weeks.

Good luck Tone, keep us informed as to whats going on.

I would offer to help, but me helping would be like asking Joey Deacon to run 100m :getmecoat:

bloody hell now theres a name from the past!!!!!:-D

I must be younger than I thought.

How long ago was Joey Deacon running, thats a new one on me, at the ripe old age of 53.:oldman:



Good luck for Thursday Tone :doubleup:

Come of it Ian, you must know who Joey Deacon was! ;-)

I'm good at blasts from the past :yeah:

I'm going to start another one of the "Do you remember" threads again soon. Watch all the things come out of the woodwork then :nod:

I do now I have googled his name.

A poor unfortunate that suffered from cerebral palsy.

Joseph John "Joey" Deacon (24 May 1920 - 3 December 1981) was a British author and television personality :doubleup:

And someone who unfortunately everyone took the piss out of in the 70's at school.

He was part of a Blue Peter appeal.

It was the done thing to call someone a "Joey".

He was assisted by some random bloke (whose name escapes me) that was a Bernard Breslaw double, who could "understand" what Joey was saying :lol::getmecoat:

everyone was getting called joey deacon back in the 70's ,I think he first came to light on Blue Peter

Started to throw the car back together,
