Big jeff had a moan at me, I didnt offer him a cup of tea when he had a look at me van, I honestly never seen him till later ,Anyway nice to see you again Jeff I think you were on probably on Elddis or might have been on the cars maybe in the pit canteen. whichever it would prob be at least 10yr ago & you havent changed a bit 
Good turnout for the run plenty to look at ,Saw Bumper taking photos at Lambton hope you got a good one of me 
(i`m not vain though)
Nice mix of pictures, was that an Associated Lead ERF next to Ritchies Commer, wouldnât have minded a look at that and the Commer seems to be doing the rounds at the moment, Iâve seen pics of it at other shows lately. Nice to see the sheeted load on the Pentletonâs, that was one of the motors that passed me on the coastal part of the run, more please. Franky.
Thats nice Bri. Really makes me feel wanted. I might bring my caravette to Seaburn this weekend can anybody tell me if i will be allowed onto the field with it? if so i.ll probably stay saturday night have a few beers and a meal

Heres a shot of my Daf taken about 1998 at North Shields. This was supposed to be a quick trip to Dundee on a saturday, I got a phone call as I crossed the Forth Bridge saying it had been re-routed to Invergordon!! Needless to say I couldnât get back home that day and it was my dragonâs birthday. I had promised to take her out for a meal so once again I was in the doghouse.
