22 Jan 2009My Lancia Beta Coupe
Well(as Ronald Reagan allways started) Well… this is a bit of a sore point, I mean I bought this caddie when I was working away in Nelspruit and my family was in George. Now you can understand the bonding that happened between us… it is like family!! At least, that is the way I see it, but that is only me…. At the moment it is parked in a rented store because there is no parking space in our garage at home. And here is where some family members and I seems to misunderstand each other, why pay for a garage if you don’t use the damn car regularly? Oh, why can’t they understand what we’ve been through all these past years( that’s Beta and me if you still do not get it!!!) I lovingly removed her inners, dressed her in a new silver evening gown, put nice shiny goodies on where every woman wants it, and then they still do not appreciate my feelings for Beta!! 
I’m lost for words!! I am planning to give Beta a bit of a face lift soon, and inject some steriods into her. Please visit this site often to see what happened to Beta, or me!!!
Recently Beta was moved from the storage garage to our newly erected carport at home. She now is under the motor cover right next to my bedroom window so that I can keep a close watch on her!!
Monday 18 May 2009 Plans are to start with revamping Beta. I will construct an A-frame and tow her to my brother in King Williams Town where she will get her ‘face lift’.This will take some time as he is a very busy guy in his body shop and workshop, so work on Beta will be done only during quieter times. We will keep you posted. In the mean time I will get some ‘before’ pictures and post it here, check it out soon…..
