YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA in a redneck style!!

As of 16.41pm July 14th 2008 after a gap of 18 years NCV551X (Betty) is now fully road legal.

Can't stop to chat, I have a date with Betty, a petrol station, and the open road.

If it doesn't fit you obviously need a bigger hammer.

Samco

we really must try and arrange a indian summer run to the sun to your part of the world early Oct, Late Sept time see what sort of numbers are interested then get a good deal from the Hotels or even your Hotel, surely the more we can attract the greater the discount.

i know you tried this before but if we all mentioned the idea to our local groups instead of those on this forum i'm sure we would get enough interest in the idea.

i'll put this idea in events also
