Words of comfort....

04.45. I woke up this morning and as allways, looked out of the bedroom window, there was a loud thud and shockwaves circulated my body giving me an overwhelming sensation of dispare.  There was a space where I knew there shouldn't be a space.... it was really an unusual feeling as the realisation wended it's way into the depths of my semi contious state of mind....
It was fast becomming more obvious that there had been a visitor to our normally tranquil neighbourhood, Oh how this is going to change things in the future days and weeks,I thought, there will be mourning and a deep sense of loss as the friendly neighbours try to find consolation deep enough to smooth over the sadness of the new found space.... 
But wait... isn't it that the space has just been moved? It has been reoccupied and the original space has moved to another area.... It has been occupied by a great vision like manifestation, it has a symbol attatched giving clue to its identity....  I can just make out through the bleary, sleepy early morning mist... It is a circle, it is segmented into quarters, Yes.... I can just make out the three letters that have gradually come into focus.... B.... M..... W YES! it is the BMW, it has finally arrived home... 
The SCORPIO HAS GONE.....  but wait again.... this really is a sad occasion, unless, Yes... It has gone to live with GOZZ down in the countryside nearly darn sarf..... Yeh, I'm sure he and his wife will be looking out for its wellbeing, they will lavish love and affection as they polish it up and bring it back into the world of the LIVING SCORP....  They will enjoy it and allow it to move about in the beutifull surroundings of the area.  The kindness which eminated from the two of them at our brief meeting ensured me of that..... I feel the emotions of the sudden realisations of the morning recede now and I feel as if I can fully wake to the days tasks, I take another glance down to the roof of the Beemer and to the pretty badge, and I think,.,. We're on the way..... SUDDENLY... I relise, All this musing has made me lose the sense of it... I realise,  Oh! if I don't get a move on soon, those cleaners, with thier turbans and pinneys on will be stood standing,  tapping thier feet and preparing to give me the verbals as they anxiousley await my arrival at the place where we like to be the most in our lives Where the dear little children come to practice the art of leaving footprints and litter, peeing on floors and spreading the toilet paper in all directions, flicking paper pellets and sweet wrappers at unsuspecting classroom assistants, where they learn the art of just being a pest.... BLESS EM.
Right... I'm off..... Cheers GOZZ and enjoy it....
Pete

I think there will be a big white van in the space tomorrow morning with two large white coated men who have come to take you away to a nice soft place....

I hope you start to feel better soon Pete. If not, then I'm sure the quack can prescribe you a little Prozac ......

Second you buy a BMW..... (something seriously wrong!)
Third.... the mind has gone completely (See above)

The only known cure for this is a scorp under his bum

Blimey,look what I've done to the poor old sod,he looks outside in the night,he thinks the neighbours are friendly,he even blesses the dear little children and is congenial to turban bearers  .I reckon Highlander has inside information,because there was a big white van with white coats inside,hiding round the corner from his house .Perhaps he could fit a Scorp driving seat into his new machine to lessen the trauma,as bizzay says that could be the cure

Hi Stuart, I'm gettin over the initial shock now, it was a good job I had a busy day yesterday, (took my mind off things)
Wrong! the BMW sold itself to me, I only looked....
Pre Scorp, I was told by many people.... don't get rid of your Granada, (similar things were said before I got the Granny) You'll regret it, they told me, it (the Scorp) was one of the most unpopular car walking, (at first, owning one made me do a lot of this) it was refered to as "Frog eyed" (I never did agree) I didn't listen to them, I paid loads of money for the first one and never stopped spending right through the second (Goss's) one.
I was chasing a dream which, unless I could continue with, it would never be fulfilled as you can't buy a newer Scorpio anymore. I had the idea of spending maybe what I've spent on the beemer, on the Scorpio in new parts and really rebuilding her, but health space and facilities wouldn't allow that and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to do it as I would have liked. You know, new engine, running gear full body refurb etc etc, no holes barred. I had the idea I would have the best Scorpio available....  The more new parts I included the better...  Oh well, there ends the dream.... Now I aint bothered, beemers don't hold the same fizzz...
Hope you keep em goin though, I understand you have quite a collection, oh for a bit of land....
Pete

Worry no more Gozz, how is she?, You had a run in it yet?
Powerful beast.... I was contacted about the 12v and pick up will be on Friday.
Did you get my pm about the Prinz link, when I've found it I'll post the hard copy to you. The white van men came yesterday and I spent the whole day dodging them,  they had a blooming big net and was trying to catch me.... having owned a Scorpio, I have become too canny to allow that, so they gave up... 
take care bud...
