Anyone who who worked for Jim would remember Mr Englefields personal friends he seemed to have them everywhere

I remember(and thats all I can do these days) you and Andy Harris at the bar of the Venturer just unable to stop the jokes coming I can honestly say I have never laughed so much in my life.
Moving on a little Who remembers Chad on Mamoth . We were en route from ventigmilia to Vincenza one night when the Polizia pulled us in to a servizio and took our money for speeding or possibly for being english and then asked us for a push as theier battery had gone flat. Oh how we laughed !!! :cry:

Charlie one
Come on then Mays Motors
I had a 150 gardner Atki 51 mph allthough in silent seventh I would estimate 70 odd with the steering wheel breaking your wrists with the vibration.
Used to do Guildway ex Shalford to Pately Bridge Yorks with ready built buildings. Come on Charlie help me out I remember coming to your house in Farnham to have dinner with you and your lovely wife I think that may have been in another life. Do you remember John Hills and Jim Moody they taught me a lot.John how to sleep in a rabbit hutch of an Atki Borderer and Jim how to get to Dubai via the the British Legion in Elsted

That worked OK, now for a few more:
Me and Dave O’Shea with my old F89 in August 1981 I think. It wasnt snowing when we parked up at Victors, Mt Cenis, 2004mtrs ASL

Just a silly thing but if he happened to be translating this to his Greek friends in Skopolos Mick Cairns might remember the night when after succesfully reversing our vehicles loaded with peu de vache on to the MV Dragon we retired to the Queens hotel to pass the evening in a convivial manner and having to call Jim Rawlings at 12.30am to say that the vessel had sailed without us. Oh dear oh dear oh dear

I love it Gaz ( are you sure you dont owe me any money)
