Only joking...

Dont know really, having hassle getting time off work at the mo, but should be able to swap with someone hopefully!!

Probably be the chevy/brava/isuzu thing (will have soa and 33's if I bring it) or sals fronty....yellow fronterror wont be done by then...

I guess my surf would be more welcome than my 90 (but I couldnt afford the fuel to bring that up there and back...saying that it would be coming back on a AA low loader so maybe not that bad eh!!??)

Or I might scream up in the company astray, just to meet everyone if I cant get the time off.
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Ive saw a few of your posts with you sounding a bit worried, dont be, you will have a ball, if you get stuck enjoy it, it means you pushed the limits a bit, nothing at all to be embarrassed about, though you will be very surprised at what you will do and how far you can push it. 8)

Greg, if you have to fly, just be here :wink:
