Hi Guys

some of you may recall a while ago me asking about a sign that was on UK Ebay...
Well with massive thanks to The Ginger Prince and his van (truck) it arrived earlier this week.

I made a real newbie mistake. I looked at the picture and never really considered the text.
Never in a million years thought it would be this big.

Needless to say Mrs B is not too pleased.

Hey Ho.. Its here now and its not going anywhere in the near future..

Dave

I bought one just like yours years ago. Yes, it's big. But it really sets the garage off just right.

Congrats

Thanks for the nice coments guys...

The sign is a little too large for my rather small one car garage and certainly won't fit into my tiny gameroom.

So, I have managed to negociate a bit of garden wall with Mrs B.. Will have to wait until a family BBQ at the end of the month to get people to give me a hand to lift it up and screw it on...
