I think you'd have a 3-way fight for the brochure with mack and myself if one became available. Does the photo you have show any of the other cars on the stand, could you post it or mail me a copy?

Cheers, Al.

In the red corner,we have...

As Al said,we were only chatting about this yesterday - there seems to be a distinct lack of photos,brochures,etc from the 1991 show.
Surely someone must have taken some photos of the cars on the stand?

Great to see the cars back together again,Al!

Hi Paul, yeah I'm still waiting for all the mags, etc!! Still only a year and a half mate, no rush or anything eh!! Was hoping you were gonna say you want to buy her back, no?, oh well, guess I'm gonna be keeping her for a while at least. I've got a carbon dash and a spare set of instruments, just need to get them refaced then put it all in over the Winter I suppose. Hows things going?, I take it you'r back riding the bike now? Was good to meet up with Mack and his red '91 Griff at the Growl last week, got some good photos.

Cheers, Al.

Cheers Paul, sorry to hear the arms still not sorted, hopefully this op will do the trick, suppose you're used to Debs chauffeuring you around by now. Enjoy the Merc, I take it you sold the Scooby?
