I haven't had much to report on the Chevy front so far this month - I've used it to go to the shops etc, and just generally for knocking around.
Last Monday, though, I was sitting in the house when there was a knock on the door - here's a young couple accompanied by a huge biker, complete with big beard, ponytail, tattoos, and a mean expression. "Jehovah Witnesses" he says... Well I see though that alias instantly - turns out he's a friend of Jock who works along at the farm, and this is his daughter who's getting married in 2 weeks. Now I remember that Jock asked me weeks ago if I would help his pal with his daughter's wedding, but I've heard sod all since, so assumed that was that - I didn't even know the date.
So anyway - they have a look at the car, she likes it, she wants it, so I agree a price, and dad the biker gives me his card. Turns out he restores and paints motor bikes. I ask him if he's any good at pedal cars - "Nae bother" he says - so we agree that he'll do me that favour in return. Fair exchange is no robbery!
So that brings us to today. The car is now along at the farm, and I've spent a couple of days this week cleaning it up, inside and out. I want it to be gleaming for this girl's big day!
Today I've finished the cleaning and polishing, so it's time to add the final touches - the white ribbons and bows...
and some flowers on the mirrors.
All ready - all I have to do on Saturday is collect the car, put flowers in the back window, and get dressed up!
