I got so lonely being left at home last year while They and Austin went off to Italy enjoying themselves that this year I'm going too!
We are Team 101
I'm a Paul Smith Limited Edition and in the last two years I've had two new bums fitted, courtesy of people running in to me. What's a girl to do?
But I think I deserve the odd bum-lift every now and again, particularly when it's courtesy of someone else's insurance - don't you?
Team 102 - keep your distance - I'm not that sort of girl!
March 2004
We got our first fund-raising money!
£86 for the recycling of some inkjet cartridges through a company They found on the internet. Pretty quick and good prices too. Now how about all those laser cartridges they've got in the garage?
Good old Austin's said once he's reached his target, I can have any "extra money" he gets to help me reach my target.
April 2004
Laser cartridges were a bit disappointing (only £10 for them), but Austin's reached his £1,500 and he's given me £100 for my target, plus He has brought home from one of His companys a tray of over 70 inkjet cartridges. If they're all ok when the inkjet company inspect them they could be worth as much as £200!!
If all the other things happen aswell then we should just about hit our target.
He says He's also going to have a look at my front suspension cones to see if they need replacing, cause I am running a bit low at the front.
I've been growling a bit recently so They fitted new top engine stabiliser bushes to me today - problem solved. I'm feeling so much better.
June 2004
Oh, I say, nasty man at the garage failed me on my MOT today because of a worn tyre and broken front subframe front mountings.
Good old Austin just happened to have a pair of new subframe mounts which he let me have. They fitted them and She went and got me a new tyre. Then when I went back to the doctors for me recheck he told Her I'd got a hole in my exhaust so I've had a new one of those fitted aswell now.
Still, all legal again now.
July 2004
Look what She got for her birthday!
Now just like Austin I've got a model of myself
August 2004
Still waiting to hear about a potential big sponsor for me, but in the meantime good old Austin has been beavering away and with the money he's raised plus what we've got from sale of raffle tickets, inkject recycling, etc, I'm now up to £1,000.
There are still other deals in the pipeline so it's looking good for me to reach my target!
September 2004
IJ decals have arrived and it's the Vineyards show tomorrow so I've been all spruced up, because Austin, Trina's Austin and myself are going to see if we can sell some more raffle tickets
Red Letter Day - I've reached my Sponsorship target!
With all the raffle ticket monies and sponsors cheques received - I've raised £1,556, and good old Austin's already got £1,510, so we're both above target!
Also got me decals fitted now
Him and Roger have fitted a new pair of suspension cones to me and I can now get over some of them horrible speed bump things without catching - well not too much anyway.
Him and Her have fitted me with a new set of brake pads.
I'm ready to go to Italy!!!
