Amazing story also Peter.

Good stuff!
You can't get off that light Merv, you gotta tell the story now.
Don't worry about Matt, he's not very polite anyways.

Pete, I'd never say this on a public forum but that's what I like about UK and some parts of Asia...... Sooooo much history

Nah! You'll have to come North to the Sunshine Coast to our first lunch to hear that one. Tough choice is which pub. Still waiting for Matt to move, however.

Report in the sunshine coast daily .Hoonsville.
On Thursday night, 178 vehicles were intercepted, 56 offences recorded and three vehicles taken off the road. Three drink-drivers were arrested, one with a blood alcohol level of 0.141.

Two drivers were found to be wanted for criminal offences, and 18 vehicles deemed defective.

Also there where no lights on the old bridge,just those advertising banners
ps sorry for the thread stealing Matt

My Old No:7 that I sold last year to a fellow at Burleigh Heads (Richard) is about to go back on the market.

He rang me this am to tell me he finds it hard to take the wife out in it and find a baby sitter at the same time so he's going to buy a Mustang!!!!

If anyone is interested in my old car drop me a PM and I'll give you Richards contact details.

Spookypt
