Bon Chance, Alan!

Did Delta let you in on his 'retirement' plans after a few beers??

Good!

So hopefully I'll get to see you race at least once more. Don't know where - Spa's a bit of a challenge for me now, with all those hills...

Hoping full recovery is swift Alan.

Supercharger malfunction or a turbo problem?

I trust it's not a dropped valve.

Wishing you a Tail Gale all the way home, Alan, and a decent sprint to finish it off. Do you wear black shorts when riding? Grant was wondering

Indeed, but I don't recall any time when they were shiny and (probably) plastic. (i.e. plastic other than Lycra or similar.)

Oh! Grant. such an innocent. What sheltered existence you must have had.
Never heard of plastic undies?.... Hang on! What has this to do with Historic racing?

Er, when is the next Revival, anyone buying a 1970 Brabham .... what gear ratios would you need for 61 Lotus round Spa ...... in the wet .......
When did Iain say would retire?

Just how old is John whatsisname in France?

Signing off now.

Now look. I don't get on here that much at weekends, but here I am at silly o'clock before I leave for work and my Tapatalk opens up on *that* photo! Fair put me off my Wheetybang. Thanks guys, I now have to drive with that image seared across my brain.

Alan I hope you're soon tackling those hills with renewed vigour! (Or is it a nude vicar?)

Thanks for all the good wishes guys! I've only just seen all this! Sadly I'm not allowed on a bike for another 5 weeks and then it will only be indoors. Three months before I can head out on the road (January - nice...).

Without boring you with too much detail, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier this year and had my prostate removed a week before Iain took that pic. The op was done robotically and I was allowed home the same day. If everything has gone according to plan the op means I should be cured - I'll find out for sure in December.

Anyway - thanks again!

Alan Morgan, if you want to recover quickly I suggest that you come down to Mojacar with all us OAPs and get fit. Sue and I first came here in 1972 and still love it. I often used to fly back to the UK to do a race and fly back to enjoy our other life !
I don't know if I will be able to reach my 80th birthday however I will certainly try !
PS can you spot my other half ?

Kev Moore the singer has been in loads of different bands over the years including Christie (Yellow River) also playing with them that night was Muddy Manninen on slide guitar (ex Wishbone Ash). There are quite a few ex "named band" members that live in our area that although retired they still like to play and enjoy themselves in the small beach bars. I even got offered a job at the race school at Almeria race circuit

Blue 'n Blonde!

I was pretty fit before the op, thanks to a couple of weeks cycling in France and Greece. However, a bit of winter sun wouldn't go amiss so I'll do some research.

It has been as high as 30c on Christmas day down here, and you could always do the new years day sea swim with my other half
