How tall do you think I am?

Hard to know about the (I'm glad you agree) "upgrade". Initially I thought that perhaps wiLlfish had added his old "pops" to his dormant account (he's headed to warmer climes for the season) but I'm really not sure? I do know that there's no such thing as a free lunch though, remember poor Alan who got made a "Hairdresser" - he emigrated to Newfoundland after that

I'll appreciate it even more when Gotchi spots it...

I was prepared to give it a try!

Thanks for lunch, and thanks for prompting the red carpet treatment from Redbay HQ!

It obviously wasn't testing weather, but we had a great run over in the 11m charabanc.

Take cover lads, he's not wearin 'is killcord or lifejacket!

Good to see him using the "Notes for Finding Scotland Again" though...

More seriously, the pleasure (and the 1050) was all ours. Nos, you should do it by bike when the North West 200 is on, give the Glens a buzz on the way down to the workshop. Classic touring country.

Think about it again though - you and I each got the keys to a 10m+ c. 600hp Redbay, fully gassed and floating ready to go...

One of us didn't get a bill...

Just relieved I was picking up the fuel bill for Integrity and not the Beast!
