Hi all,

Not sure how many of you will see this or be in the surrounding areas, but the Mean Old Timers Classic Car & Motorcycle Club have a New Year's Day meeting tomorrow from between 2pm -6pm in the covered market.

Re: Cranes/Hoists - what am I talking about?

Re: Broadspeed Sprints

Not sure, but Practical Classics ran a group test of Broadspeed cars a few years ago, including the Dolomite, and (I think, and could be wrong) an Opel Manta and Capri

Finally got around to scanning a copy in. Mods, please feel free to delete if this is against rules of forum etc...
