Will be lovely to see it there- a 1 March plate would give you a good 4-8 weeks to shake down and run it in before any likely dates for Marham!

The Dax found a new life in Austria late last year. Spent some time in hibernation undergoing mods to meet local approval/registration regs. Think it's up and running again now!

My Westfield has been on blocks for a couple years needing an engine rebuild which I hope to sort this year.

When the fine weather arrives we may bump into each other again, been a long time since wifey finished working at the PS to have the baby.
