Hurray Alistair! 

Amazing!  Truly amazing.  And, like many others I’ve saved this thread for future reference.

But, not all messages came through. 

For example what T-shirt?  This may be important! 

Now, I certainly hope everyone’s van runs perfectly, but I’m looking forward to the next group effort! 

I urge folks to reply all and keep the info coming to all of us. 

Alistair you are a rock star!
