Phew - it's been rather hectic getting this edition finished (and it's just about there), what with the Le Mans oXigen programme to produce PLUS still working on the Gaydon programme

However, our contributors have done us proud and hats off to 'em I say for submitting some great text and photos!

Hopefully, it will be available by next week:

Hi Abbo

Can't see issue 7 pdf. I must be too quick off the mark! I hope it's the Suburu blue Mustang that's up for grabs.

Marc,

Just had to have this issue being that other racer that pitched against the Mazda.... In fact i bought it twice somehow but heh more money to you guys...

Are you going to possibly cover the endurance race if we use the Mazda?

Great mag

Dave

 

[abbo]

Thank you Doctor H

Plan is to use the Mazda.

I'll sort you out about the double-payment.

[sunsetman]

I'll refund that extra payment as soon as it shows up on my paypal.

 

[abbo]

If you mean the Mazda - probably... along with repaired track.

So, who comes up with the titles: your contributors or the editors?

 

[abbo]

Not guilty on that one....

 

[Ember]

I'll take the blame on that one, Mark.

 

[Bigskybanker]

I will give credit where credit is due. English is such a wonderful language.

I ordered my issue from Lulu today.

It's (Ric's) Mooster's birthday today... and he claims that he's only 26. Me thinks he may have mis-calculated.

Happy birthday old chum and good luck for the coming year... especially with those unforgiving swines in that Government Office you love so much.

ABBO

 

[Ember]

Happy birthday Other Boss.

Abbo, you forgot to allow for the fact that this year is a Leap Year.

 

[sunsetman]

Congrats Ric have a goodun.

 

[Mooster]

Gosh, thanks everyone! I love birthdays - I can have a hot bath whether I need it or not and I'm allowed to stay the night in the main house, even if it's not raining!

Cheers all
