I'll put a proper 'sticky' message up shortly, It's been a bit of a last minute rush and a frenetic last couple of days as Alan's off on 2 weeks holiday on Thursday and we wanted to get it done before then.

It's going to take me a week or so to sort out the stock, banking and the like but' i'll try to help out in the meantime where possible.

Bear with me, the one thing that can't be handed over is Alan's encyclopeadic knowlege......

If you decide to collect the stock by Van or Vans (maybe a truck) your more than welcome to call in for a brew.

Congrats Neil, wish you all the best on this old-new enterprise of yours... :D

Today I mostly:
Woke up early to watch an epic clash between two Red Bull monopostos, almost had a laugh when both McLarens almost ended up clashing against each other, did a great deal of home improvement, and cooked some tasty home-made pizza.

Alan still has a phone, and PM. I'm sure he wouldn't object to the odd call now and then. After all, 25 years dealing in Ladas!!! :)

I'll congratulate you here as well Neil. Been busy working and keeping up with the family so i haven't had time to browse on the UK board for a while.

Just a slideshow of the local clubs latest outing http://s689.photobucket.com/albums/vv25 ... =slideshow (The pics are backwards so if you click reverse order they will show from start to finish)

Just wanted to pop by and say hello to everyone.

P.S. For John (excossack) I got the adhesive to put on the badges but haven't had time to stick them on yet. Thank you for sending them once again.

>crb247 - No probs on the badges, better glued to your Niva than gathering dust in the shed, plus they would'nt look right on a Lard Rumbler :-)

Today i mainly went to woodfest 2010 in St Asaph, Nort Wales.
Was good. Nutters on push bikes doing mad jumps, guys climbing rather tall wooden poles with spiked shoes and loops of rope to keep them from falling off the poles.
