Cougar Painting

[Graham]

Had to show you the painting my wife gave me for Christmas.
A friend of ours does car-art and the missus asked her to do a painting of a Cougar. She gave her my car reg and a photo of my dad’s old engineering works in Kettering to include in the painting.
My dad passed away before Cougars were launched so you can imagine it was pretty emotional when I opened the present.
Pride of place on the sitting room wall now

The pub is now called Billionaires

Ok
I was born in Kettering, my folks lived there all their lives, but I moved to Rugby for work and finished up in Paignton

 

[LLC02]

Paignton seems a better option

 

[Graham]

Can’t argue there

This is how it looks now Graham. Whilst having a fire drill today I remembered about your painting as we walked down to our meeting point
