Yep, I got the same line.

I got an email to say that they 'could see my point' about wanting a new wheel on the car. Haven't heard anything else..

I'm working on sunday BTW...

That is a huge start on the first response

Keep at them.
Bummer but tell Chris we will toast her in her absence for the day it is. Have a good one. See you,

minigolf · May 6th, 2005, 12:54 AM

Well, I have my fingers crossed for you Mick on an early delivery ... I hope. Is the car still at Minto?

Magictux · May 6th, 2005, 08:50 AM

I got a call to say that the car arrived at Rolfe's today and has four NEW wheels on it. We will pick it up on wednesday morning at 8am....work is in the way 'til wednesday but after that I'm on leave for 10 days!!

I have instructed them to secret the car away somewhere away from 'PRYING' eyes.

ScottyB · May 6th, 2005, 08:51 AM

Great news Mick

Am bouncing around here with excitement for you and Chris. Couldn't be better news and we are delighted....

. My REDDIE will not feel as lonely from Wed.

Now as for prying eyes... we'll tell Liam and Andrew to stay away....

Great news Mick. Really great news!

But I'm not sure why you don't want anyone to look at it!

Are you going to drive around in a cone of invisibility when you have it?

Fantastic!!!

I can say that (surprisingly enough for Rolfe

) they have actually done what you asked cause when I was there late this afternoon to top up the warranty I had a good look around and it wasn't any where to be seen

The one place I don't look was inside the service area

minigolf · May 6th, 2005, 12:39 PM

Oh guys, I can't make brekkie on Sunday, I have a date with the outlaws who are heading overseas on Monday so I guess I'd better make the effort.

Might be able to join up for an afternoon drive though, will have to wait and see I guess...

maryc · May 6th, 2005, 01:27 PM

Liam,

This is sad news.

Next time we meet, we can possibly see multiple RED MINIs.

Someeone will ring if there is any other excitement.

minigolf · May 6th, 2005, 01:44 PM

Haha, thanks Mary, I'll be at the next one, which will be next week in Goulburn I presume!

Putty Road on Sunday too

Liam, don't know how others feel, but I'm happy to hold off the drive until tomorrow afternoon if that helps
