Well, well!!!!
I would have never imagined that the MSC JAE would have been such a good LAUGH as it was….
It was really brilliant to get to know you all as people instead of just ‘fellow-text-spawners’…lol
Before the JAE I had only met the illusive Arnold and Ems in person (when we bought the K10 silver bullet from Ems)
….I only got back home yesterday around 17:30 hours….and I couldn’t believe that this thread was so long!!...the northbound jams on the A1 were turd!!
I’m sorry I can’t give a personal message to all of you (feel free to blame the copious quantities of Tennant’s Super-Strength, & McEwan’s Champion Ale for that!!!)
But I would like to express a few thanks in particular …(in order of drunken flashbacks)….
Kev-------For pulling off a blinder with the MSC chairmanship and being such sound crack (you seem to have time for everyone…you deserve an award me thinks next year!!!)
Mike------
For TONNES of stuff (including) BBQ skills, Audio advice, Generous giving of Connoisseur Rum, & Truck pull enthusiasm, and your friendship (next year we WILL come 1st!!!!)
James-----
For sacrificing MSC stand time for the “JAE FM cause” and still making it over for a laugh and sparing some time for some banter!
Arnold----
For taking a selection of flawless photographic masterpieces all night long (even while thoroughly intoxicated beyond the point…….)
Ems-------
For the Triple-Decker-Chair-Sit-Event (Who was on top? I think it was Ollie?...ooooerrrr missus)….BTW the chair is still in one piece!!!
Ed----------
Despite a lack of chat-opportunity:…For a truly CORKER fire work sequence & arrangement (I can only imagine the prep work that must have gone into that….my favourites were the rows of small blue ones separating the white & gold sprays) and the next day for unwittingly demonstrating (in true slap-stick form): the infamous joke handshake on an unsuspecting victim (I almost fell off my chair!...very slow and relaxed movement but PERFECTLY TIMED thumb-to nose HAHAHAHAHhHAHA)
Antony-----
For an education in life (I learned from you) and your explosive K11 thrill enthusiasm:.(COOL DYNO BTW……ECU mod next?)..Cheers for the good crack and the heads-up on money-spider transportation methods!!!...LOL
Davey C---
For the hilarious & dry-sarcasm that nearly caused a broken rib on at least one occasion…and of course for the professional mechanical engineering disseminations
Tom---(and Crew)----
For the single handed TOTALLING of an aquaplaning almera (by the hand of a GOLD K11) without even trying. And, for getting the Teins on in record time (now that’s dedication)…
Ollie------
For providing the life of the party entertainment with the CARPUTER KAREOKE (that attracted punters from clubs around)
Richmicratwista-------
For the <BUSH-TUCKER_MAN> Joke with the BBQ hhahaha that was funny as FK! And for keeping the vibe alive

Sparkie------
For dealing me an “Ed-Special Joke-Handshake” on departure and for being on my proffessioal and general dodgy-humour wavelength HAHHAHAH Hillarious
Fordy---------
I watched you shine up that K10 and I was More jealous than I thought I thought I would have been……(CORKER picture of a drunk Sammo in the back of the NOSsan BTW)…….If you go-glanza I want the K10 (first dibs)
Craig----
For making it over…not a great deal of opportunity for drunken JAPE (this time?) but I am hoping you managed to get the cast manifold & down pipe in one piece (I forgot to give you the gaskets…I had them stashed in my “adventure motorcycling” book but for got you give you them……PM on the way”)
Jap-n-crazy-(club)--
For being such a TOP bunch of geezers…joining us and offering their hospitality
