Alvin reminiscing over "school days"?

Those must have been good stories--of the formative years of the man we know as Alvie today. 8O 8O 8O

A fab day was had by all alright, and thanks for all the nice words and the (thank yous) that means alot, and makes it all worthwhile. It was Paulies run though not mine, I just gave him a little dig out so thanks Paul. It was grate to see some old faces again, Liam Cotter and "The Brown Mini" which is like a good wine....gets better with age :lol: . And all the newbies who (I think) had a grate day aswell. I don't think Castletownsend has ever seen so many Minis together stretching from the top of the hill to the bottom, most with handbrakes on :lol:. I really enjoyed it anyway and cant wait for the Big Parade in Fermoy on the 17th. Are we doing a run aswell? (I think we should). What do people think? Alvin

Getting back about the handbrakes.. I found that mine has 3 "clicks" or notches.. always though it was just the two.. Didnt want that baby movin!

I deffinately think a run should be organised, I mean, how long is the parade going to be? An hour at max.. and theres alot of nice roads around that area.. and the fact there'll be 25 of us there!!

Why not I ask !!??
