They let boy scouts into the RSA now also....

**blgdave** · 5th July 2012, 14:56

They need to do something in our RSA like that. Needs new blod bringing in to keep the place alive! Real good clun being spoilt by some old sticks in the mud with a bit of assumed power. Shame as its a real good club! But we digress...

Looking forward to my first prppper NZ rally at some time!

Yes I am a member of the same club. Maybe we already know each other then? Not shot clays for years but really fancy having a go. I only have a pump action Maverick though, maybe frowned upon in the traps.

44 so I qualify! I reckon I will join up just because I like the tshirts! I will try come along Sunday and see how we get along. I lso like discounts!

You spotted my toys then? I still have a few of them, yes. I sold the bikes and most of the cars. But brought over two Escorts (my babies) , an Anglia (now in ChCh) and my TVR Cerbera. I like toys!

Cheers...

Welcome fella,very nice that,must have been hard to leave it behind.See you had a TL back home,what is it with poms and TLS eh,ive spent a decade or so on the TL site and the place is full of blokes in England,good buggers and some very clever ones amongst them.Hope your enjoying living downunder.

**blgdave** · 12th July 2012, 18:38

Cheers fella! Yes I loved the TL, especially the noise with carbon cans!! They were famous for throwing people into ditches back in the day, especially with no steering damper! I found it fine with a bit of extra timber on board!!

Here is mine...

Notice the extra lower fairing.

Cheers...
