It just doesn`t happen with five or six people turning up.I am not available this weekend,neither is Matt and probably no Luke.Not sure about Andrew.Please don`t leave it all up to Nick,Alan,Tim and Robbie C.We didn`t get any of the parts that were listed as donated items this time.perhaps they will be there this weekend or at Billing.
Good luck to all that are there and I`ll catch up with you at Mania.

Don't Worry Guys, i can confirm that i will be trundling up to Battlebridge, if i can get the alternator mounted in time. Yes, after repairing the tensioner sunday,(Thanx again Guys) turns out the Alt was on it's way out too. Got as far as Tunbridge Wells before it finally gave up the ghost. :mrgreen: :? :shock: :o
But it should be sorted for the weekend so the A Team will be represented by Threee of us . . . . 8) :D Five of us? :8 7 of us? :? 12 of us? 20 of us? 100 of us? 8) :lol: Any advances on 6?
