50 Today

Post by John Naylor »

Out for a run today in Bertie, 50 years to the day since his first registration and the mileometer reading was:-[frame]Image[/frame]
Shame I didn't just keep going and make it the 100,000! Hardly had a taxing life, has he, at 2000 miles per year? Going to make up for that though.....

Apols for jumping on this, but is there going to be a 60th for the Minor (948cc) 1000?

Hopefully "down south" - bit unfair for those in the SW & SE?
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

I am buying him a couple of Bilt Hamber aerosols for inside the box sections (but don't tell anyone as it's supposed to be a surprise).
