Some know already but to others i haven't been in touch with I'm off for good this time, opportunity has arisen for a move down under so I'll be gone beginning of October, made a lot of good friends through this forum and ill be sad to go but hopefully see most of you over the summer months at the regular meets. Will stay in touch and follow the banter so hopefully won't be a stranger.
I hear they're looking for doctors over there...
can you get enough 850 gearbox's out there? don't blame you & hope all goes well
We'll miss you mate :(
Good luck James.
Congratulations matey :D Hope all goes well!
Not jealous really arse lol
All the Best mate....will you be crushing the Green Bitch before you leave ? ;)
I'd put two and two together. Best of luck, Jimbob. Know you'd been looking at this for a while now. I reckon he'll miss us all and come back. Plus, he'll be begging for some rain before long!
Be sad to see you go mate, but hopefully be able to race you on the strip before you do.
