Hi Fellas! Impressively fast responses there...obviously just sitting around waiting for your tea

Guy, yeah, how could I forget you and those others? I know you've still got your car - saw you a couple of times over the last few years, but you always seemed to be in conversation with someone so never did get the chance to say hello. I saw Geoff Turton a couple of years back at a launch do at Porsche Chester, where he was demo'ing his gaming rig with the racing seat and pedals and screen, XBox etc. As usual for Geoff it was top-flight stuff...if he's still at the Gold Triangle Industrial Estate (sounds like somewhere that Stratos replicas disappear....) I must pop round and say Hello.
I've got into Porsches too over the last 10 years. Never used to like 'em till I drove one - now I'm on my 3rd - a Boxster Spyder, and it truly is a bit good, even better than the GT3 I had before it!
Impressed you've still got the old girl - I reckon they'll probably bury you in it Thanks for saying Hello and great to meet you again, if only virtually - next time I see you I'll deffo do it for real, even if it means pushing some poor sod out of the way!

Rich, thanks for the welcome! I don't remember Reg - not the name, anyway - but if he bought a Litton in the late '80's, I must have met him. Cool that he's still got it! Does he still drive it? I get up to Cumbria quite a bit, but never seen him out in it (although I did see one parked up down at Backbarrow, must be, what, 10 years ago now...maybe that was his...think it had black wheels?)
I'm a bit jealous of you getting on the list - you've got something to look forward to now (probably "sleepless nights"). I won't be able to do anything for a couple of years for one reason and another, but I suppose that's no reason not to get my name down...
What struck me, having looking at the LB component set, was how much the state of the art has moved on. I think that's down to customer demand and expectation, but it's also attracted a different breed, who aren't prepared to cut corners just because they can't afford the real thing (in fact the LB seems to be a lot better than the real thing in many ways). However, I still need to do my homework and get answers to a few things, and as you say, you can't beat speaking to someone who's been there, done that. So this is probably only the start of me annoying the L out of folks on here....

Actually, I probably won't be initiating any posts on here (yet) as I've not got anything to post about. I might, however, stick my oar in on existing threads...if you're not careful

Well, gotta go, as the nurse has come to wheel me away to bed. See you both about on here soon, assuming they let me play with the computer thingy again

TTFN
