Finally managed to get hold of Ben (Charlie Safari), after managing to miss each others calls for quite a few weeks. :oops:

Been meaning to arrange collection of Ozzy's TC engine, and a few other bits that got forgotten when I collected Ozzy. :shh:

Found out that Ben has acquired a Mustang, and is going to exit the Marina scene. A shame, as he gave a lot of good input to the forum, when he was active. He still has a fair bit of Marina stuff in his shed. Will arrange to go out to his shed in the next few weeks, find the bits that I'm missing for Ozzy, and see out what other bits might be useful to acquire for "spares".

Will have to see if I can borrow a tow car and trailer... :eh:

tell us more.


I've nowt much to report on mine. Been quite ill recently including a spell in hospital suffice to say I'm on the road to recovery and while I wait for my mobility to come back I've been buying parts for the marina. I think I have all I need now so looking forward to making a start.
on a different note I'm wanting to join the club. Does membership start when you join for 12 months or is it Jan to Dec ?
I'm planning to go to the nec show, is it possible to join there ? If so may do it that way.

No need to wait. You can join the club at any time, renewal is always 12 months after you join, so join in September, renew each year in September.

Some will recognise it. Needs some TLC but it is usable. I'm still after a 1700 saloon if I can get hold of one.
