It was forecast snow etc last meet but the guy that organises them (Simon Cotton) said it goes ahead unless it's really bad. Anyway I've just checked BBC weather for llangollen, it's +4c so there won't be that much snow. I wouldn't worry about it Marcus Where are we meeting? I'll take the A55 route and meet you at a junction, you name which one. Either that or you can meet me and taffy and Dave (if he comes) at the oakstead garage at half eleven. Up to you Coopless!

The auxilliary belt has gone, so I have no alternator or power steering. It hasn't taken the cambelt with it thank goodness! The last 10 miles home was courtesy of the RAC, and I'm sure iceberg will sort it our no problems. H

I just hope that fitting your old LE skirts on my coop won't transfer the luck!!! Was relieved when we spoke and you had got home OK. At least you got further than the guy with the Corvette and the guy with the Merc. They must be cold by now if they didn't find the keys!! Don't think the Ponderosa do B&B. Let us know how you get on tomorrow H. Hope your coop gets well soon, again and stays well. Dave

I only got about 5 miles before the car died, so out came Mr RAC with a fresh battery and I managed to get home for half five in the end. Nice to see every one, it’s a shame no one would talk to me as they were so clicky. Only kidding great bunch of people great day even with the broken alternator. LOL Mav
