No problem Steve, thanks for letting us know. I hope he has a good game :thumleft:

I'm still celebrating a brilliant Colchester Utd 2-2 away draw against top of the League Leyton Orient, our goals coming in the 89 and 92 minutes! Must have been a hammer blow for their fans, but a precious point for us, fighting with about 5 other teams to stay out of the relegation zone.

Funny that, I have no recollection of doing that, Nigel. Must be an age thing ;-)

Thanks.

Change of plans I'm afraid. The satnav is showing a 2 hour drive on the M25 and no indication of whether it might get better or worse. The perils of driving during rush hour.

Have a good meet and hope to see you at the next one!

I'm very to hear that Ian, hope to see you at the next one!

It's pouring down with rain hear, so it isn't going to be a pleasant trip down the A12, especially with the roadworks, but plan to be down about 7.30pm.

I've just arrived.
A12 south was fine, but northbound looked bad. 3 fire engines and 3 police trying to get through two lanes of queuing traffic.

Don't worry about that Nigel. Best you are with friends, rather than on your own after your dad's funeral earlier that week.

Hi guys,

Can't make it to this months Meet as I am in Budapest celebrating my wife's birthday. (She's staying at home... no, only joking)

RX8 booked into Essex Rotary to fit OMP on 2nd of May, so fingers crossed I'll be at the May Meet.

Can anyone explain to me why I've been suspended from Facebook for a second time for asking where I can obtain a brace for the underside of the car? Within a short scroll there are several others asking similar things? I'm under Derek A Harrington
