Sorry I didn't make it on Monday, but as I mentioned before I was working.

Sounds like you all had a good night, I'm not working next month so hopefully I will make it, but I won't be in my min'. Its still in bits Plenty of moral support needed I think!!
Is the local mech guru Jim you mentioned, the legend that is Jim Brindle? That's a name from the past if it is!
See you in Feb

Jim's a top bloke ,who has forgotten more about mini's and motorsport than most people will ever know,and does not blow his own trumpet, so to speak !!
He campain's his own mini on mull most year's,as well as preping and supporting other's

Well worth the 40+ mile round trip ,to his workshop, just for a brew and a natter.....

Nice One Sefton, the more the better,
Hope to see a few new faces,and car's...can somebody please bring a camera ,I forgot last time (tiny mind)
we can then get a few picture's in the M.C.R. mag and post some on the forum.
This might just bring a few more folk out off the woodwork (as long as Im behind the camera) by proving that we really do exist and we are not just sudonym's and avatar's.
