Goodbye 2020
Twenty Twenty has not been a good year for a number of reasons, and in the main is one to forget, however, there is one memory that will linger on well after the trials and tribulations of the Covid pandemic have faded away;
Rest in Peace, Mike. always in my prayers. |

I think your efforts with the photo "album" and the calendar will help ensure that this fine chap will remain in the forefront of our thoughts, Bob, and of course the continued exploits of Mike's cars - particularly Gilbert - will be a further indication of the mark he left behind him.

I saw my mistake as soon as I posted, but it seems you can't edit the tile. But look on the bright side - it might cheer Delta up to know that even the best of us make mistakes.  Mike would have sorted it out.

Lol, looks like we all posted simault...... at the same time.
Bob, it can stay as it is since rather like "wet pante" people will notice it. And yes the loss of Mike was the worst thing to happen. It did however lead to the bike ride and thanks to Iain, MGD and Mary, Gilbert shall remain in full view. |

I'll add my Happy New Year wishes to those already here.
I hope you are all making New Year resolutions to be nicer to Iain in future. He's a Top Bloke with a heart of gold! |

We couldn't be nicer to Iain - taking the Mickey out of Delta's spelling and grammar is in the finest traditions of British banter If you aren't mocking a mate you aren't really mates. It's my race partner's birthday today so naturally I had to send him a message reminding him that that makes him 2 years older than me!  Healthy 2021, everyone ! |

Of course Andy, we all suffered the situation and many losses too. All my best to you and yours, including your Caterham, for the coming year. Looking forward to meeting you again, will be a pleasure.

Well done, sir! Now all the "correctors" will feel sorry if not stupid. By the way, did you hear about "our" club?

Oi! I joined up. What are you trying to say? I think I've even been promoted through the ranks, courtesy of Gerard - nothin' daft about that is there? At this rate, I could soon be Chief Stupido, then you'll be sorry...

I'm obviously a lost soul - come to think of it, nothing new there, then!
