Photos for Oliver anyone?

Post by richardw »

Oliver is still in his convalescent home and , in order to cheer him up a bit, why don't we submit our favourite photos of 'his' cars. I will then get a photo album made up with an appropriate dedication from the 'club' and the names of everyone who contributed (whether or not your photo was included) and send it to him.

If you can't post pictures on the forum, send me an email and I'll supply my email address so you can send it in the normal way.

Cheers, Richard

Thanks guys!

More needed - they don't have to be of your car or your pictures - just nice ones you've seen online.

Cheers, Richard

Look carefully - It is there.

How long do we have Richard to supply Photo's. I'll try to get something of the Excel within the week, but a few buts to add back before hand.
