oh god ,what have i just done .

[henri]

after getting strict instructions from "management" that this year i'm not to buy a scoot as a present to myself .can ya guess were this is going. went into local scoot shop to say "happy xmas/bah-humbug" .owner came out the workshop all smiles as fast as a greased ferret .saying "ive got a scoot i took in px goin cheap,wanna have a look. outback" . 
well the good news is he asked £250 an will probably take 200 , 
the bad news , its a baja chetak with a nackered cruccy ,he thinks ,could be cables/selecter box . runs n got tax/ticket til march nxt year but is fugly to the max .an hand painted sky blue .
before the petition circles to have me commited , reckon managements name will be 1st .the chetak is a indian made on old italian rally/sprint tooling ,an then "restyled" by being dropped from the ugly-tree an hitting every branch on the way down,some twice. remove indies an replace ugly cross shaped horncast n put classic one on ,re-paint ,an ive a "rally"-clone for around 6-700 . with a very tunable sprint veloce 150cc lump in it ,seeing as sprints start at £1500 an that would only buy you a rally bare chassis ,what can go wrong . 
if n when i do deal after chrimbo i wont be posting "before" pictures , will post them under a plain cover to discerning "gentlemen " after receiving a note from there doctor confirming there over 18 an off robust health .its that fugly . H

hadnt forgot jack you got a "pre-welded" 1 , as a heads up ,last xmas you probs said "henri told me too do it " , well this xmas , i'm sayin "well last year jack did it" an "his missus didnt mind" , best PM me ya phone number ,if the management grabs the car keys n bat an asks for directions to "yorkshireville" ,i promise if ive still got a workin finger i'll txt ya , should give ya a 12 hour headstart the way she drives .
an ya right sime , a runnin scoot at under £500 , makes me feel 20 years younger ,its a must , an if i can make a cosa "presentable" in polite company ,a chetaks a piece of cake . famous last words eh. an i thought mine would be "feck ya all,i never liked you all anyway" ,live n learn eh. H

went in yesterday to see about the curry burner , offered him £200 coz i lucked into a cheap pair of lammie panels n horncast last saturday an thats all the "scooter-fund can bear this month. he stuck at £250 ,saying he gave 3 for it,lying git . i said 2 n you'll get the other 50 for the spares it needs to fix.he came back with 2 an ya owe me 50 ,saw a way out an said "sorry dont do credit " an bolted to the pub .
all in all i reckon a close shave with a fugly job , just need another scoot-thing worth £200 before management realizes ive her provisional permission to spend it on a scoot but havent an withdraws her approval. bloody ebays dead ,an i'm not giving the krauts all of it , always the way .all hot to trot n nobody to dance with .
