Hi All,

This is the only way I can communicate my best thoughts and safe wishes to those members both in the UK, down under in Australia and across the pond in the USA. I hope this severe weather what with the floods in the UK, the fires ripping through Australia and the Arctic conditions in the USA, I hope all of you and your families are safe and well.

Its a comforting thought that you have the ONE vehicle that can step up to the plate and give you the security of making that dash to safety should you need it.

Happy 35th Anniversary G Wagen!

If as Joe says, a G  could be used to dash away to safety, bear in mind that dashing needs a V8 G smiley

 

Nice to see you back yes

Re: Just a few thoughts - Weather wise

when the Qatari gas tankers arrive in Milford Haven we should be sending them Welsh water back on the return voyage, the rain is a nuisance but for the most part it drains off into Englandcrying

160kph (100mph) winds here today. A bit blustery to say the least.
