Matsu is Japanese for pine. I did bonsai for a very serious hobby untill a few ysa ago and pines were my specialty.
I sold a few to raise funds for the gti.

Most of mine were gold medalists at Chelsea, Hampton court and the gingko and noelanders trophies in Belgium

Hardy was my nickname at school.

I am not 'hard' :signLOL:

Its a take on my surname.

And H4RDY is my dream number plate and its on an X5 somewhere!

One day!

Your right mate that number plate is on an X5 and it lives near me (telford). The guy in question owned a (and now opened another)  tyre company which he sold to KwiK fit. Yes he is loaded. My mates ex wife is with him now.  Good luck getting that plate off him lol

Hurdy was my nickname at school and it stuck when I grew up. Easier than saying Hurditch  :laugh:

My reg number isn't bad, but I'd love to get my hands on H11RDY or H1RDY. :happy2:

JPC soon arrived (from one of the teachers actually) J ohn P ur C ell. That kind of stuck as did J or Jay.

And ive been Jay ever since! ive been with steph over 3 years and she doesnt know me as a John, as many on here dont.
