Promotion! From Navigator to Driver at long last ;-)

OK you lot, budge up and move down the field one more slot, the DVLA have seen fit to give me a Practical Driving pass slip ... only after 40+ years
So you should be seeing a bit more of me for the next few years .... as soon as I sort out the insurance;
Only two firms out of all the ones on the Insurance page want to know about covering "new" drivers, but actually not as bad a price as I thought it might be!

Well done Geoff.

We'll squeeze an extra place at Stourport, and do visit the Golden Swan in a couple of weeks.

[g8dhe]

Indeed, need a few weeks of local stuff to switch from a little Fiesta manual, to a 2.5l V6 Automatic 2 tonne camper
But yes have booked SS and will be looking to several more weekends, slotted around Phil's SuP board activities, looks like I'm going to be his driver for his SUP Endurance race activities around the country!

Brilliant news Geoff.

"Gawd help me. I can't believe i gotta send you jokers off to Top Gun. But you screw up and i'll have you flying Honda Stepwagons out of Hong Kong, carrying cargoes of rubber dogshit, sooner than you can say Mazda Bongo"

Classic stuff

[Bob]

Flying out of Hong Kong is one thing.

Flying in used to be real fun when it was the old Kai Tak:

As you will see, approach was flown towards the red and white checker board painted on the mountain, then hang a hard right.

Lets not ask Geoff to do that just yet eh? And his v6 isn't even 4wd.

Fair shout, a good landing at Softies will do nicely.

We do have the river at Stourport to practice carrier landings.

Geoff, whatever you do DON'T tow a caravan to Stourport!
