IS Tub Thumpin a Nice guy?????

Met Cliff Today and felt the need to publically THANK him for being such a nice guy.

He knew i just blew up my old un-homologated Engine and was struggling to source cheap good parts for it.

He came up TOP TRUMPS I bought a load of bits from him that where absolutely top notch and will really help towards getting me racing this year in Offshore.

Isn't it Great when Fellow Wooden Cat owners Congregate to help each other out Seriously though Top Geeza!

So When i See ya Cliff The beers are on me mate
