If I had a newage I would be on the list already. In a classic RA it is too much.

Trust me I'm gutted I'm not coming. I'd love to.

Hello bwyty and welcome to SN (Wales).

If you can, get down to the monthly meets (says he, who's not been to one this year and probably won't until Oct).

Llangorse eh?
Might see if I can persuade the missus to come for a run down there.
The car likes a weekly run-out (even if she doesn't ).

Id love to go on this, drove round Switzerland France and Italy last winter for a month snowboarding, shame it was in a diesel volvo estate haha.
