I'm not a drinker, but it will be nice to put some faces to names. I'll have to pass on the 3 am thing as well, we work on Saturday as well.

I ran into Terry Warner while leaving the training facility today, and hopefully will get a chance to get over to look at his Jeep in the next little while.
Rob.

OK, we're coming. Alex (or anyone), can you suggest a decent motel close by Gracies? We'll need to crash before heading back to The Big Smoke.

We'll probably be there before anyone else, so if you're booking what's the name? We'll hold the fort until you get there...

Oh no, not Iltis fanatics. I will have to answer for all my criticisms against these trucks.

I guess I could talk about what you have to fix on them, since I did that (again and again) for many years. I believe they will be very rare some day soon, as the parts dry up and the major assemblies give in.
