George I don't believe you could upset anyone, certainly not me I have no known weakness other than any of my close friends or family suffering in any way.
Everything else is incidental chewing gum of life, I enjoy the banter on here but that is all it is, part of the chewing gum of life.
The exception being the friends I have shared fun days with on here and look forward to lots more shared experiences with some shared proper Ale and Cider and good scran, I have become close to a handful that I really care for.
I thank Simon for that, he is one of them, as is Brian, Button and Tcherek who is doing well in LA and happy other than the obvious loss of Bill, although we have yet to have a face to face, if you are of similar mind and or shared interests it is not always necessary either.
James May is a non event to me...
Gary already has one in OZ you may recall.
Destroying a thing of beauty is never going to be a good thing and I'm glad we difer in the time honoured fashion, tis the freedom of choice again and that is a healthy sign as any debating Society at Uni or above will endorse.
Your mate at gomog will never be forgiven for misquoting Arwyn and Dave W - I still have the email from Lorne and that is where it will stay as I think he is a jealous prima donna.
I have the full back story from Simon on this matter.
Button had a similar view of Lorne and warned me about his inaccuracies on his site, this is also kept in email.
All I will say to you is I am glad you shared his home and hospitality in a previous time as I will not descend into the mire by publishing those emails from either party as some things need be held in confidence.
Enjoy a good trip out in the Mog as I just have - life is good enjoy using the petrol up because we are all worth it - Peace be with you

Maybe with you being an advocate of the Musk build you need to contact Simon for a handle change 😎
p.s. I am looking forward to seeing John's MG EV at some stage on a visit, he had a real need for an auto and the offer he got for the outgoing model was jaw dropping and they llook nice with good range.
