Thank you Ian for making this a sticky.
To try and save any concerns, rest assured that Joe is making arrangements to ensure the safe keeping of Mark's car and his large collection of spares. I am assisting Joe in this.

Hard to believe we were sharing beers and ice cream in September at the tram museum. What a great day out that was! And the Peak Performance annual meet - another great event that Mark put on for us.
(BTW, just in case some of you will be sending a card, Lyn spells her name with one ‘n’ and no ‘e’.)
