Hi Jimmer, just to remind everybody of your skills, I reckon you ought to
show yer photos of every model you,ve ever done… :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

As my Grandkids would say, only 10 more sleeps til the annual bash… :laughing: :laughing:
Look forward to seeing you all there.

Hi Dispatcher, I dunno why but every time I see one of your excellent drawings
or photos of Hills motors when they were blue, I always think of Monty…bless him.

Dispatcher, Great drawing, I can’t draw a straight line! Mick.

Rescued from page 2…c,mon lads and lasses.

Had a phone call from Steve Hobart ( now living in Guernsey )
He,s gonna be at the bash.
I,ve got a feeling that there,s gonna be a few new old familiar faces
from the past there this year.

I read in the Echo tonight that JPI has “merged” with Riva…

not bad for a company that was near death a few years ago

but I wonder if this could be the end of another local name?

I did not realise Mappo had a Yellow Jersey to match the footwear. Also his hand is glued to the steering wheel again. Don’t forget your centimes for Sunday Tone :smiley:
