Barry,
Having spotted FOJ and then owner Mike Ridley I'll now keep quiet, as I think I have the results etc in front of me. Did a certain person get a 3rd in Class?

Cheers,

Simon

2011 is 60 years of the +4 and MOG 2011 will be in July in East Anglia. I am on organising committee and we are hoping to have a +4 display of some sort. All ideas welcome.

My god Richard, what a mind of information, I can just recognise that it is Wiscombe from the trees in the background but that's it. I bet you could even tell us what there best time up the hill was. I know we have many members who have an Encyclopaedic knowledge of the morgan world but that must be the top

Well done Richard, spot on!!
Asd to times I think we managed to break into the 47’s a year or two latter
So are we going to have 12 +4’s for the 2010 TT and beat that number?
