Jimmer has kindly sent me this pic he came across to put on.

I remember when Bill bought this new, as at the time I drove his 88 for him in the same colours.
You,ll recall, those of you that remember him that Bill liked a drink…or two.
Wonder what he,s up to now…anybody know.■■?

Tone last time I saw Bill he was doing a bit for Meachers and tipped in our yard but that was a while ago, remember when he drove the F88 through his old mans wooden garage at Minstead cos he wanted him to move out the way, cheers Buzzer.

Yeh I seem to remember something about that Buzzer, he was quite a character.
I also recall seeing Bill and his missus on the ‘love boat’ on more than one occasion
as foot passengers on a mini booze cruise.

Tone do you remember Bill rented a house in Romsey, any way he had a disagreement with Audry and allegedly started cutting up all the furniture with a chainsaw, and rumour has it the police would’nt go in till he ran out of petrol at least that’s the story going round at the time, cheers Buzzer.

Gazzer…"…blimey mate, who,s that old looking git.
Can’t be me, I look younger than that. :unamused: :unamused:

Spit…hi mate, how you doing ■■?
When I worked for Bill it was on euro work. He just had at the time the 88 and the F12.

Gerbil…enjoy your holidays mate, I,ve already had mine this year…2 months on the sick… :laughing: :laughing:

Charlie…I,ve sent you a PM.

Buzzer…your tale about the chain saw doesn,t really surprise one little bit.
As I said earlier, Bill was quite a character…especially after a drink. :open_mouth: :open_mouth:
