Hello everyone

I've still been hanging around for a while, but thanks to a superb spine surgeon, and some heavy badgering by arm (thanks Alan), I'm now back in the land of coupes.

When I saw my old LE 205 up for sale I just couldn't resist and bought the old girl. My thanks to Paul_V that looked after her so well for the last couple of years laugh

After a clean she's looking as good as ever:

Great to be back! thumb

Welcome back. Silver is the best colour IMO, I've always loved the silver ones. Looks great on your drive. Lastly, get to work on those headlights wink

Didn't take much persuasion. It was destiny that you once again became custodian of your LE.

Enjoy.

I have a long list of things to do on her, so no coupe meets just yet, isn't that the fun of owning these cars? crazy

Yeah Phil, need to get some compound on those headlights, only you would notice that mate laugh

Steve,

We've not met (yet) but I realise that you too have been in the wars! Very pleased to hear you're back in one piece ( it was so much nicer for me to be out of the brace!)AND you've found your old coupe.

Stay strong!

Hi Thunderbox

Thanks for the kind words, I just saw your thread, that was a bad accident you had frown Mine was a crushed Vertebrae, due to doing some rather silly things when I was a little younger and more stupid. Didn't think I'd ever get back into good health again, then was sent to a brilliant surgeon in Scarborough who I can't thank enough, made me believe in our NHS again!

Stay well yourself too my friend, hopefully see you at a meet sometime soon laugh

Do you think we need a subforum for those of us who have had nasty spinal injuries?

Glad you're up and about again, Chris!
