Default Happy 60th birthday Richard Farrant

Richard Farrant turns 60 on the 24th of May. Richard has been coming out to our events for 16 years and I am sure most of you wouldn't have known how old Richard is. The members of Khaki Vehicle Enthusiasts Incorporated and myself want to pass on our best wishes to Richard who is currently on our Committee. Behind the scenes Richard has been helping to prepare for the 32nd Annual GPA Swim-In and Ex-Military Vehicle Gathering at Corowa in March 2012.

I can safely say now that Richard's article on Corowa will be featured in Vintage Roadscene issue 140 out in a few week's time.

Hi there Max, well it feels alright, don't really feel any different. I believe you are not far behind me

Thanks for your message. Hope you and Kathy have a good time in Canada.
