Goodbye Guido – Hello JUF!!!!!
Posted on April 4, 2009Sorry to say that running has taken a bit of a back seat this week due to a manic diary.
I’ve been working in the Houses of Parliament which has been fun but I don’t know how people do the London commute on a regular basis. I found it draining and was good for nothing by the time I settled into the armchair at home with a cold beer!
Got a 10k planned this weekend which I will probably do early Sunday morning before the coverage of the London Marathon starts which I intend to be glued to!
Good luck to Daza and all my Realbuzz pals.
Well little Guido departed the fleet this week and is as we speak, driving (I hope) all the way to Moray in Scotland to start a new life – hopefully Charlie his new owner will finish him off to be one of the best Fiat X1/9’s around.
I’d also like to introduce JUF – my new project – he’s a 1967 VW Split Screen Single Cab. Called JUF because of his number plate, he will affectionately be known as Juf the Magic Wagon!!
However there wasn’t much affection when his gear linkage broke in the first few yards of ownership and I had to call the AA. The joys of classic car ownership!!
Here he is alongside Tracey’s Bay Window bus – the artistic editing is to try and disguise the rust that currently holds JUF together!!
Will keep you updated on his restoration. Hopefully one day he will look like this……….
Or maybe this!!!!!
Off to the Big Bang VW show tomorrow at Santa Pod to get some inspiration and will report on my run on Sunday.
Cheers,
Terry.

Like the Guiness wagon, perhaps you should ask for Sol to sponsor the restoration they might be interested in it.
