OOPS.!!! wrong hoverport ,wrong era'....I must have put 20yrs onto your age

by assuming you travelled from RAMSGATE as we did. I think we'd moved from

the South East to Cornwall long before the Dover / Calais service began,so

Dover didn't enter into the equation... However my wife reminded me that

our eldest son used the Dover route when travelling back to Germany when he

was with BFPO, sometime in the '80's...

Yea.. your "Very Nearly" right, .. only another 23yrs to become a "TON UP

CABBIER" . The cabby should still be going strong by then ,she's just clocked

her first 42700 and in my opinion is in absolutely great condition. So far I

haven't found a rust spot anywhere,and the paint work in the engine comp'

is even better than her exterior. She's in far better nick than I,can't see my

engine or bodywork lasting much more than the next few laps!! But Hey,Ho,

When I wake her from her winter slumber in the next few weeks we'll do a

"Ton Together" again....assuming these new EBC brake assemblies, complete

with the "GRAISSE CUIVRE" pass that French MOT test....grin:


Cheers, Rustler.. "The Oldest Cabbier"
