Re: Second thoughts on offsiding

These things happen. In retrospect it would have been easier if I had just pressed the go pedal earlier and gone ahead, but not being in a hurry ... sometimes it's better to get going and not being too considerate of the other person ... :steering: Mea culpa mea maxima Saab Jim Not forgetting that ...

Re: ROSPA Magazine - Readers Questions

Re: RoSPA Buckingham Palace event 25/5/17
From the intial email that went out, it sounded like invites went to all groups to nominate 2 people (+2 guests so 4 in theory) to attend. It sounds like it is likely a general RoSPA event though, rather than anything strictly driving related. So probably a few there will be from the "When thi...
