Posted 18/04/06 12:54 AM Posted 18/04/06 12:54 AM *hugs all round*To Ian and Anita,you have played such a huge part in having the BA XR6Turbo recognised as the great car it is. I join with everyone else on the site to wish you a speedy return to the road, and that Goldie will have a long life with us all yet.You should be congratulated for such a fine job of keeping the motor going for so long, and we are all relieved to hear that Goldie will return to us, like the golden phoenix from the fire, she will be reborn.The offer of a blue donor car still stands, as we have to sell poor Bruce quicksmart, it will be a sad day, and I will cry over a car, when he goes.I know it sounds a bit cliche, but please let us all know if there is anything we can do.*big hugs n luvs n all that stuff to you all*
