There is quite a bit of tonsilitis going around at the moment.

I would like to say something in Chris's support as well. I was delighted when I saw that Haynes had published a book which was, in effect, what the previous one should have been.

To have achieved the writing and publishing of a book of that quality is something that he should be proud of. Various little inaccuracies did creep in, (don't they always) and maybe some of it needed a little more explaining, but the way he has supported readers of the book through this forum deserves more commendation.

The Syd Bridge character is a very unpleasant piece of work, there is something seriously wrong with him, all he can do is criticise, and when asked to back up his criticism is unable to do so, he just repeats it. I have crossed swords with him a couple of times, fortunately the score so far is me 2, him nil

Chris you arse!
Youve made me sort of meet a realy nice bunch of people, cost me a fortune, made me learn a load of new skills that will stay with me for life, and because of this stupid half built thing in my shed - I decided to stay in the UK and not go travelling!!!
Seriously though, great book! its realy REALY gave me something to focus on over the past 8 months and cut my boozing habbit considerably

Hope I get the pleasure of meeting you with a finished roadster one day

Guys

Although not building a Roadster I did buy the book mainly for the pedal box plans which I'll get round to making at some and to be honest was just a damn good read.

Although easy to get embroiled in the events of recent times I have this life code that I go by, which is, I treat everybody as my friends until I learn otherwise.

I met Chris a couple of times at Stoneleigh and had a bit of a chat and also gave him a battery that HandyAndy gave me to him if I saw him, he seemed like a genuine sort of guy and pleasant to talk to. I also met a few others that I now consider to be friends which is really nice.

So hopefully the recent events won't stop us sharing our knowledge & friendships, life's too short and sometimes personalities clash, things calm down and we either move on from where we left or proceed to pastures new, either way you'll still have people around you that appreciate the work you do and the support you give. So thank you Chris and take care.

Regards

Rich
