Hi Guys...

Its a 250 mile round trip to pick it up so won't be able to get my hands on it for a while... But looking forward to it...

Congrats, you have a nice machine, at a great price.

Cool machine. its the later model V63 where they merged the 56 and the 63 together. It is as wide as a 63 and holds 63 bottles but the front door looks like a 56. It has the coin bezel of the 56, and bottle door of the 56. Cool looking machine. Are you going to leave it as is or paint it? They look nice in a 50's theme paint job

I'm glad you said that cause I was just about to say it was a 56. I've never seen the front door like that on a 63..

Thanks Chaps

Josh - I'm going to wait til I get hold of it but yes if I do decide to keep it and not turn it around
I want to change its appearance.. I know that you have had great success doing this so any pictures would be greatly appreicated.. .

Nice find, Dave!  I'm going to have to have my wife talk with your wife next time we're over on the Island...you obviously have her trained to accept all these great finds!  Can't wait to see what you do with 'er.

Greg - Its simple. I lock her in a cupboard until its time to get her out to cook the dinner. Only
Joking... She pops up on her every now and again... so have to watch what I say

I have tried to hide things in the garage in the past but she always finds them. What I normally do is show her something outragous like a 1950 Pickup I found on Ebay the other day and say "wouldn't that be lovely." When she puts her foot down I say "how about meeting me half way then with this..." 

It would be great if you could get over here one day soon...

LOL Dave!!  See, part of my problem is I bought that 1950 Pickup and it's now sitting in the garage waiting to be restored.  Needless to say, it's a large bone of contention and used up a good bit of my "ok, that wouldn't be bad to have" cards.

We'll make it over there sometime in the not too distant future, and will likely come in through Mildenhall.  We will certainly all hook up if at all possible!  Maybe I can sneek a slider into my baggage!
