New Forum Mascot!

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Aww, it's Cassius II!

Is it me or is he slightly crosseyed Groomy? You hadn't just come back from a razz in turbus maximus had he? That would explain it! :D

Glad you go sorted, not a huge fan of those Omen poochies.

@ All He says ta but I know Im bloody great already!

Nah hes one big softie,loves his Dad!

@Agwa Hes run in many trials all over the UK since 1997 mate.At Lincoln,Croxton near Thetford,Notts area aplenty.He retreives using the whistle to the point where its literally like having a dog on a remote control!Its really astounding how he knows every pip of that whistle!
He has an A4 file full of certificates too,like FSH!!Ha!

He'll be at all UK meets we attend this year for sure.Hes just as friendly as our Cass but when he fetches stuff its with more structure.

I have even taken the centre armrest out of the back of the 480 so he can chill properly,wedge style!

Thx again all for your lovely comments on old Barry Manilow nose!
