Thanks guys - I almost forgot that I wrote it as it was so long ago.

However I failed in my attempt to get an S on the front cover...the battle continues, but actually they did put one of our photos on the front cover!!!...that yellow old Tiv one was by Maffe - well done lad!

Finally got my Sprint late yesterday. Brilliant write-up Andy, well done!thumbup

Thanks for not mentioning the cement works, I'd never be able to live that one down if word got out.

Your article brought back a lot of happy memories.
I don't think that trip can ever be surpassed, never has so much fun been had by
this old git for such a long time, and I'm sure I speak for all of the G.T.S. members.

Longers, looking forward to the movie smile

PS. As an ancient GTS warrior, I do indeed remember the first clone war.
It was covered comprehensively in the film "Attack of the Colons"

Good to see H10 JOY the blue S shown in the magazine , I nearly bought that car from Petrol Teds then girlfriend when she had it down at an early S meet in Virginia Water. I had gone down to the meeting to have a look at S's and there it was , my wife wanted to buy it immediately , but I hesitated because I had not looked at any others , a couple of weeks later it had been sold but I eventualy bought the same model and colour from the guy who put together the 'S series alternative parts list' . There you go a real nostalgia trip !

Oddly enough, someone I know told me that her ex-boyfriend owned that same car, they toured France in it.

I wonder if it's THAT small a world?
