Glad you got home safely.
Any idea why they failed and if it's linked to the brake light failure earlier?
Maybe stomping on the brakes [to 'kick' the switch into action] found a weakness in the system.

No I didn't win the "Grope"! I won 2nd in Modified! Thrilled! Glad everyone got home safely - brakes or no brakes!
Where's this meal going to be Dale? Sounds a nice idea but could we make it weekend cos of work in the am?

'Sleepy' Lavendon [Bucks] has a very good pub! Infact, 2 very good pubs for food. I'm happy to organise the booking.dalebrignall wrote:i have had a thaught as its the bank holiday weekend,why dont we leave it untill the following weekend and say saturday 29 august,and go for a meal in a pub some were.we need somewere central so people dont have a long drive afterwoods does anyone have any ideas
The locals would never forget it if a convoy of Moggies turned up. Would probably get in the news
Count me in whatever you decide.
