My Daughter Karen had a bit of a rough time in 2014 and had to sell her Chevy Day van, so as a surprise for Christmas me and Liz bought the GMC Jon Conolly was selling.

Me and Anton went up to Jon on November 30th and the deal was done, I drove it home there and then, was a pleasure to drive.

So now the problem was where do I hide it until Christmas day :scratch: then it hit me, why not ask Anton if i could leave it at his workshop, I had a couple of things I wanted to do anyway, Anton sad yes so that's where it stayed until Christmas Eve.

The look on Karen's face when she opened a small little present and saw a key inside was worth a million pound, we all had tears in our eyes.

Karen has already been to the Chelsea Cruise, the Ace Cafe and one of our local meets and she's only had it 3 weeks.

Big thanks to Anton and Jon. :thumbright:
