uve been busy wit the scanner

graham John
05-03-2005, 13:44
yeah,
little un has been busy more like.
If i knew how to work the poxy thing (Scanner) i would be forever posting unseen gems from the years, (probably good thing i cannot!)
At the moment seriously considering breaking the collection of all things RS (brochures, pics, posters, memorabilia, press packs, pr releases, Homologation forms etc) to fund the Group 4 beastie i want, therefore best to share the memories whilst i still have them.

will post some more later, any requests ?

Dave,
i remember that one, Angharad always wondered what happened to her favourite teddy ( we told her he ran away).
You have a good memory !

It was a good photo.

Aarrrrrhhhhhhh ....... Nnnooooooooooooo.

Dave, I will never forgive you for that. ..... LOL.

I was very young ... and I had drunk all Graham's beer .. hence the picture. Graham does not like people drinking all his beer. Please remeber this ... it may be useful in the future.

what a cracking photo nice Hair mate

that teddy must be well loved PMSL :clown:

raybs
09-03-2005, 23:12
Yes, yes ... the hair was a little wild ... unfortunately there is considerably less on top these day and it is also a lot greyer.

As for the teddy .... well it was a one night stand I'm affraid ... never saw it again, it doesnt call, it doesn't write.

Infact, I didn't see it at the time as the first I knew of the existance of this photo was when it was published in RN. That was a bit of a shock.

And to think, I still talk to Mr John.

graham John

My entire portfolio and collection of all things RS is up for sale. all the brochures, posters, memorabilia, books, technical manuals, dealer info etc. Some musuems and clubs interested, however, the sunstrips are of little interest to the above so maybe they will be available to interested peeps.
