Hope the skyline is ready by then - Did I read somewhere its in need of some stuff doing first ?
Thanks Ian-thats fantastic!!! Wow I really am gobsmacked at how friendly you lot are!!! It's a welcome change from the backstabbing and inhospility of another forum. Thankfully I don't get greif on there due to being an "old timer" but I feel for the new guys trying to learn

Munman thanks for your words, I might actually see what Audi say It's gotta be worth a try ey (aim high and all that)

A8L Chick,

As a serving member whose youngest son is a Royal Marine I would like to say thank you for your efforts; we really appreciate it. My lad was in Afghanistan for 6 months at Xmas 08 and we both expect to go out there in Nov 11. Thanks for what you are doing.

It is I who should be thanking you and your son sir, not the other way around

What you guys and girls do out there may unfortunately be forgotten by a few, but most certainly not by all

So, Thank YOU

Thanks for bringing this to my attention Becci - donation sent.

I have a son in the Army, Signals too as some (most?) of the organisers seem to be.

A very worthwhile cause indeed but I do think our Government should be doing more. I know they have done something recently but we need to keep the pressure on them.

I'd love to 'do' the Nurburgring in my A8L........

Stew,

Thank you so much Stewart, that is an exceptionally generous donation. I am trying to get to the target but it's not small haha. Nearly 40% there but the time is ticking by rather quickly now.

If anyone fancies trying to spread the word a little via FaceBook or other forums you may use, please feel free to copy and post my OP.

Thank you all again very much.

Hi Becci,

I may be dutch (so they're not technically fighting for my country directly) but i've lived here over 16 years so pretty much consider myself a permanent resident and am also proud of the efforts the guys are doing abroad.

I also donated and posted it to my facebook...good luck and hope you raise boat loads!

Oli
