Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi Ray, Welcome to the club. If you want to show off your pride and joy we would love to see it. If you are not too far from the Peak District I organise regular runs out, often starting from Ashbourne. Look in Events to see our run out today with a pre-lit narrow, the actual post is called The Oil Can Cafe, although we never went there, but that is another story.

Ray The Brake Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks for the Welcome Guys It's good to see the good old x flow still has it's proper place in the world. I enjoy the fact that the senior cars are still going to be around for a while yet. I will look how to attach pictures and give the old girl her five minutes of fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
