    Private plates

    I once owned OBR1T. Looked for a dyslexic astronaut but couldn't find one. Contacted a company who said they bought numbers but it turned out that they wouldn't buy until they had sold the registration. Finished up just selling it with the car.

    Got lost on the course

    Worth repeating: A few years ago, we were following a really slow fourball of visitors. We waited every shot on 1, 2 & 3.

    Another Q for car mechanics

    Who gets their car serviced at a main dealers? My granddaughter was quoted for new brake pads at the dealer where she bought the car. Our local garage did a service & changed pads & discs for the same price.

    How long have you been at your current club, and

    68 years, with 6 years off when the kids were young. Only club I've ever been a member of. I'm a life member now, so can't afford to leave!
