Welcome to the thread Lawrence, I remember your name from the âold boysâ at Waughs who came over from Baxters with you when they amalgamated. Parky Denholm, Brian and Tommy Johnstone (not related). Another name was that lovely fella George Fearns, a true gent. I know Bob Kinghorne was still around about 5 years ago but Iâm not sure if thats still the case.
Ps You may remember this motor. I think Bob Greenlees drove it. Oops I almost forgot Billy Robson!!! regards kevmac47

Whatâs the story behind the Eiger Racing trailer behind Simpsonâs FM Marcus22? The reason Iâm asking is that itâs been parked in Fergies yard at Washington for the last two years and doesnât seem to have turned a wheel in that time.
