Hi Ricardo, that Dave Whitmarsh had really long sideboards IIRC, I knew his brother well back in the motorbike days. :smiley: Buzzer

Hi John,

Yes you are right, ran with him to Italy one trip via Ventimiglia did the customs and pulled off at the first exit,parked at a restaurant it was about 7pm he had his girlfriend with him, he got out and we went in to eat,I said “isn’t she coming in ?” “No” he said “she can sit in the cab”. I heard a couple of weeks later when they got back she had attacked his Ford Zodiac with a hammer causing considerable damage.

Another one of your Mary Hopkins moments !

Regards
Richard
