I would proudly like to announce that Pops will be moving into my garage tommorow and I m absolutely stoked to have him there.
He might see daylight once a month as I have to get him to stretch his legs.
He will share his room with the young fella "PomPom" another red clubby so it will feel like home.

Will get pics of them together soon!

Pops has been fantastic to me any my family. He has brought us nothing but happiness!

The memory of the old man crying when I took Pops away from him will live with me forever.

My son is devistated that Pops is going. You will see him crying when you take Pops away. Amazing how 1 car can have such an impact on so many generations!!!!!

All the best with him Gilly.

what a brilliant mini story .... they're all great but I think this is one of my favourites. Mini's truly are little "spirits". They take on a life of their own.

I can't help but picture the old man saying his goodbye to pops. Full respect to pops! I'm sure he'll out live most of us!!
