Post by: burgerman on February 01, 2007, 20:50:00

she was on the show with Chris Evans. Lovely old dear with plenty of life in her. I only tuned in by accident but spent an hour happily listening.

This is one of the things I like about Mud-Club..... someone will know the answer to just about anything you want to know  :D

And another thing I like about it is that nobody will start throwing toys out of their pram saying it's nothing to do with 4x4's and shouldn't be on here  :D (unlike certain other forums).
