Yet more recycling
Goodmans Penthouse - Obsession
Fays One - Wild One - Simply the Best
Iguana Bay - B&B Italia - Caffarrel
Fiat Uno - Casino Tivoli
Flippin Eck - Flippin Shytalk
Fullers Transport - Velocity
Romans Sabre - Marston Hotels - The Full Monty
Priory Club - HFS - Mr. Noisy
Penthouse - Men Man
Ambassador Communications - Superluminal - Team Tanglefoot
Magnum 540 - Blast From the Past - Silverlake Garages
Is it any wonder nothing new ever seems to show up at the races.
BTW, Flying Flipper was the single Mercruiser powered boat and our single engine V26 became 'Gyro' under new ownership.

Haven't seen Alan for a couple of years now but I'm pretty sure he had it the last time we spoke.

Surely you mean a day off from the AWT show? For those not in the know, the FGT is AWT's number one stunt double

I was re-arranging my cds, videos, DVDs and cassettes last night and realised I probably have about 40 -50 powerboat vids amongst other things such as 1000 or so boat mags (I've had a cull recently).
And you think you're a real loser?
You're more than welcome to borrow some vids. PM me.

None. Thay'd rather sit in the dark and talk about how good the old one was!!!
Get you old arse*** out on the water!!

will try to find some pics later.

As promised:
Loading into C130 at RAF Lyneham.

Yup, Geoff, Johnny Fay (of Fays one fame) and I travelled out on the C130
subsequent trips had Geoff, Steve Curtis and I, and other combinations

No, think the racing's finished now.
You used to get prizes/prize money down to 20th place, which is an indication of how many entries there were in a class
