Hi Guys,

I am up for either the new Leighton hall site or Clive’s. Mind you the weather forecast isn't too good, it gives it cold first thing, which isn’t too bad, but then heavy snow/sleet and or heavy rain for mid morning and through into the night! :shock:

Plus my tiger still isn't back together! :cry:

Paul :wink: .

hi guys

whats plans for tomorrow? as I've just had a phone call from Ian, think he wants to come as well. If we're all going to Clive's I don't mind picking people up on the way through.

Clive - Lisa's fine thanks, apart from a good earbashing :evil: , on the other hand the car is running like a bag of spanners after coming out of the garage, god knows what they have done :evil: , as its now crop spraying!! :shock: Taking it to a Ford garage on Monday.

Just a thought, is anyone interested in going for a Xmas meal anywhere, Just a thought, even a Holiday Inn or Travel lodge, somewhere central, all of us going for a meal, a few drinks and stopping over? If anyone fancies it speak out.

richie :wink:

Videos of Clive's scratch built Sherman. Sorry about the poor quality of video but I have put a new video camera top of my Christmas list for next year.



Turret rotation and few views of the lads in the freezing cold wind.
