Re: EMMGF convoy to Stoneleigh - 02/03/2014

Sorry, but won't be able to take part as the date clashes with my other passion (www.alrs.org.uk) May even have to miss the Feb meet as a result of alternator failure in the pouring rain and dark of last Friday evening. Just managed to get home before headlights became too dim to illuminate the road...

A very pleasant evening.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for organising this meeting, even if it clashed with the international football. :?

I hope GCHQ weren't monitoring the conversations which seemed to focus on head gaskets and coolant pipes, LOL
