Re: Bob High RIP

Yes Liz, 35 years ago we (and our A40s) were a lot younger! I can only find one glimpse of Bob, on page 10 of FN 34 from September 1988.

Bob High RIP

Bob was an early member, joining us in 1983, and was the very capable organiser of the Club's annual general meeting/social weekend during the years when we held it in Ancaster Hall, Nottingham University.

Re: Monty's car for sale :- Sutherland Green 948cc 1961 Mk1 Deluxe Countryman

Sadly time has run out for this car - the person whose driveway it sits has given notice that it be removed asap. It will be scrapped unless we can sell it very soon, so the owner's widow has agreed to a price of just £200 to shift it. It would be such a shame to see this rare Mk1 Countryman go for ...

If you've never visited this museum you're in for a huge surprise - a vast cross section of items to see and much to learn about. Almost worth hoping for a wet day!!

Re: Jane Birkin RIP

Ah, ahem, I refuse to answer that question until my solicitor is present.

But c'mon, Je t'aime - its theme, its lyrics, its, um, sound effects at the end - were (and arguably still are) unique in the world of music. Unique, I tells ya.
