The Lights Arrive.


These are probably the least convenient Jeep parts yet. A photo last summer showed a Jeep tail lamp on a trailer in Italy. The genuine article, not some Filipino copy, and it turned out there were a pair. The trailer was in Guileo’s yard. The Italy v. Wales Six Nations Rugby Match was coming up. Tickets were purchased for both the match and flights from Milan to Bristol. Beer drinking trousers were dug out of wardrobes and we all met up in Cardiff. Frazer and Delores threw a party and the tail lamps were exchanged, then the singing started. It was quite a night and the following day Wales triumphed, though it was anybody's game at half time (he added politely!) Great weekend!!!

More excited at acquiring Jeep rear lights than at Welsh rugby. Definiteley; I like a man with his priorities well ordered!!!

A F-A, I tried to attach an mpeg of the singing later on, but failed. Will have another go soon. It was loud, very loud and we hadn't even left the house.

Rido! Rido! Rido! Canto! Canto! Canto!

Oh, to have been there. Sigh.

Justin, for all our knowledge of Italian football chants, we just weren't there. But we will re-live it in cyberland for many blog comments to come, you mark my words.
