The Esprit is being looked at re miles per gallon as I type, and the Excels fuel consumption is about right then.
As far as photos i am now trying to put one of them up as my avatar with some help from my techie son.

Re: excel newbie

Great idea Pete. Nigel are you up for it too?
The Lions is an alright pub , but the car park is up a track that is a bit rough .
If there is anyone else in the local area wants to add their name to a meet up, please do so.
HP postcode . We can then sort out a day/ evening that suits everyone.
