Hi Jim

The new hip is doing very well, no sticks now! I saw the Surgeon yesterday and still have to take it steady for a couple of months as there is still a possible risk of a fracture! Apart from that fine but no golf till at least the New Year! :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

Christ Steve, I remember when you drove that and looked that young !!

Gazzer…here,s Johns photo you put on

and here,s one Paul Nichols took of me in the same place…Johns camera was obviously better than mine

Shady…always thought you were a cowboy, all thats missing is a stetson and gunbelt.

Jimski…looking good mate, dont forget the snow chains

Hi Tony snow chains you told me you never needed em !! :laughing: yeah coming on now Tony :sunglasses: did you see the persian Rug in the email??
Regards Jimski

Just looked at e-mails Jim…brilliant mate…talk about attention to detail.

Only time i ever used snow chains in 20 odd years of doing Euro was when i drove an F88
for Bill Robinson ( anyone remember him ? ) in the late 70,s…I had been stuck in Aosta
for 5 days cos the road to the Blanc was closed to lorries due to heavier than usual snowfall.
Had to put on chains to get out of Aosta and kept them on until i eventually reached the tunnel.
Happy days. :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing:

Hi Tone only once is only once now if you had a Scania… I know what your gonna say :unamused: :smiley: :smiley:
Yeah happy days for sure !!!
