Oi - there's a few more miles in this old codger yet.

.... did I tell you about my first car ... cost me 20 quid, but straightaway I had to shell out for a new back axle, which cost me a fiver....

(you think I'm kidding )

Next meeting Monday 11th at the Pathfinders at 8:00pm. Most kits should be out of hibernation by now. All welcome including Fred Flintstone even though you'll need ID to prove who you are as we already have 50% of members fall into that category

I don't think there's much danger of a 'Don King' for you Graham.

I was hoping to go, but didn't finish work in Spennymoor until 8pm.

Maybe next time.
