Well, Christmas is coming and also the telling of ghost stories on Christmas eve . Now I'm not a man who usually succumbs to such traditions, but recently an eerie thing happened which I had to share with you all. Now anyone who regularly reads the posts on this glorious forum will have followed my endeavors starting with Olive the p5b, now living in Belgium with her new owner Blum ( get well soon Olive ), then with the drunken purchase of the " E-Bay Air con" Saloon, which is now my donor car, to my most recent ( and sound ;D ) Saloon, who I decided was a male for the simple reason that when I first tuned the radio into Classic FM , the first song playing was Elgar's "Nimrod" so the name kinda stuck. Anyway, yesterday morning my logbook ( show your age!) turned up and I placed it in the folder containing all old receipts and work done to the car, to be perfectly honest I haven't really gone through it all as I promised her indoors I'd finish the conservatory by Christmas so I haven't had the time but I thought I'd have a look through to see what work had been done before. While doing this I came across a letter from a previous owner dated 98, a Mr John Ball, who was in turn writing to the previous owner asking for any information he could supply about the car, all pretty standard stuff you'll agree but when I looked at his address I got a weird feeling in my belly , he lived in Bucks, and the address?...... The house was called Nimrod . Now her indoors claims " you must have seen it and forgotten" but , and here's the thing , the letter was folded up inside a bigger envelope with odd bills and stuff and I swear I had never seen it until yesterday. So it looks like I've either bought Roger Moore's old car ( the man who haunted himself ) or my rear armrest is actually the gateway to hell and I'm the gatekeeper . For Sale Admiralty blue saloon New MOT , cream interior, complete Tool tray , all welding done ...oh yeah comes with it's own evil dimension and accompanying demons ;D. I tell you what, for a bit of fun, lets hear any other spooky tales concerning your Rovers , if nothing else just to reassure me I'm not alone Regards Scarlett Will ;D
