Merry christmassssssss!!!!!!!!!!
Fellow 8 enthusiasts,
It's that time of year when good cheer and bomhomie spread throughtout the land no matter what I try to do to stop it!  Therefore I wish you and yous (for the scousers) a very happy festive season and a safe and prosperous New Year. I will be about throughout so post your cold weather problems here I may be able to give a sensible and sober answer; or maybe not!  CtL

As an experienced navy hand, so to speak, do you have any advice on how I can avoid my male colleagues believing that my fumbles are some form of masturbatorial ritual. I'm getting some odd looks. Bill

Merry Xmas to all on the forum
Loved taking my 8 out in the snow - came back the other day from abroad and the car had about an inch of snow - turned off the ESP and floored it in the car park - fun watching all the lights blink on the dash........
