Re: Marks KUY 475

A star of stage and screen. And how fortunate but worthy reward for diligent research. Moreover, a quite professional rendering. I can only presume that Famile shears were the delightful piano accompanying, Jonno or Good lady? We are blessed that the antipodean exile has the time and resource to rev...

Re: Pomeroy Trophy

The venerable Tony Lees in the third oldest car. No garage statues these old cars and lovely to see them presented and enthusiastically driven.

Re: 1963 4/4 series v pre cross-flow.

Mary, Andy , Jack , Leigh will know the car, and of course Brett from the Brands Hatch mafia. Machiel you startled me with mention of Goodw...

Dont mention the war.

"We have ways of making you talk.” Advert on the Berlin Metro for the Berlin School of English. Now for a Pre season rant. Put your vanity aside and stay close to the phones as it could well be that a high profile position will be available within the F1 Circus. If not just now, then at the end...
