Re: Work on van

I've booked my van in for a local Jubilee classic car show but I had to do a lot of painting underneath as all the underseal the classic car restorer had put had come off and was back to bare metal and it does not get used over the winter only when there is no salt on the road and it is dry.

Re: Club nights Hertfordshire

I thought it was the Red Lion as the Austin club meet at the same pub on the last Tuesday of the month. I hope to go along next month as cannot this month as it clashes with the MG club I go to.
