One mistake Raceboy.

Sunday 9th March = VW meet. Not some woolly back meeting in Notts.... or should I say Royston Veysey??

Thank you raceboy... shall make a note of these. Now then.... as I've never been to a meet before, and am definately planning to go to Lowdham... is there anything special that I should wear.... like a pink carnation or a big hat with D on it Is there any sort of first-time-ritual... like drinking a pint of Vodka or anything????

Just had a thought Dawn. You should have called yourself TVRTotty instead of TVRPotty, then the boys wouldn't keep mistaking you for a bloke!

Oh dear....everyone seems to think they can "handle" Mungo...



Raceboy, can't beleive you are off to the Royston Veysey meet next week and not VW....but I suppose it's closer. Have you told TVRpotty-tottie that the publicans look like this...?
