We had a studio in the backyard , we put in a pool
table with an old ‘fridge so I guess you could call it a
“bar”, we had music and most people scribbled on the
walls. Anyway, we had the local signwriters make up

I wouldn’t change it today if I could , in fact we have
just purchased another K100rs 16v. THIS time I’ll just

Arh no , nothing wrong with AMM, I love Boris, Lester,
the Big Fella Stewie, the mag is great and I look for it
each month, don’t think it doesn’t make the grade, just
had a soft spot for ARR, you started it and steered it
well for so long, always loved The Gear Grinders Arms,

bit like you, starting to come apart at the seams, ha ha,
probably just an old bloke thing, staring into a lager
going I remember when... then Wife looks at me ‘n’
sez , too many beers luv, take your bloody helmet

I’ll send you a couple images of our new acquisition

that’s Linda’s, she also has her R65LS which was bought
new in ‘84.
Hope that set your mind at ease your followers aren’t
