Woo Hoo, not long now! I'll just pop up a pic of my favourite scene at Gordon's 1-Bed "Cottage slash Mansion" near Guildford. He has them all meticulously maintained, all 45 or so of them. This was taken at his fun day for staff and family and friends. He invited them all onto his 38-ish acre pad and organises a boat race in his lake........ I joke not!

And some wee Irish receptionist, Elaine I think she is called finishing her section of the relay race. The poor wee thing is so tiny, she struggled to use the oar.

"Cottage" :joy:

At least he's happy to share the fun :cool:
He loves looking after his staff - wish I was still there!!!! He was sitting with me in his "pond" (where the boat races were going on), and he said his cottage is only one bed.......

This is the 1 Bed Cottage in question, it's bigger than it looks here and has a multitude of garages and annexes out back: I walked into his out-house-upstairs cinema, and it has a pink T-Bird adapted to make it look like you are at a drive-in movie!

Getting pretty close to completion. Nice note out of it. Lovely that it has near 250 brake but will be perfectly driveable day to day.

Rather than starting a new thread (although that might be a good idea for the Retropower Uncut weekly series..)
This was a very informative 40 minutes.
