cant see Muzz either unless i havent gone far enough forward thru list.

I think a few inc muzz use Caravanning Amigo's forum but I'm pretty sure I keep seeing Muzz around.
Cadmonkey (Ian) had two commercials T2's, his first he had a Stainless Stell Exhaust made for it and the tailpipe came out under the rear wheel arch to stop soot forming on things he towed. There's photo's of him knocking around on the gallery with his last T2 a dark green.

We can't forget Tubb's too, he was here from the start too.

Muzz was back on here last year i beleive?

I think the last days of the club being a club in it's real sense as opposed to a for profit organisation (no critiscism intended as it works very well and is perhaps the only way to do these things) generated some bad feeling amongst the older members when the comittee was disolved etc and it carried on ito the new regime and we lost members.

I also think the stress of big national rallies takes its toll.
