Well here's my two main modes of transportation but lurking in the back is the Green Nissan 4x4 which my wife uses.

I also have one of these.

1973 Honda ST70, with about 3,500 miles on the clock.
I've owned it for about 25 years and my father before me.

Looks every bit as good as this one in the picture.
But getting it back on the road for the AGM, then riding it over and back ain't going to happen though!  :lol:

And yep I still have a mountain bike.  ;)

Good to see your on the mend.

Tentatively suggested a warm up trip to the AGM as it is the weekend before we head of on the Scottish Classic Car Tour 3rd to 7th Aug this is organized by www.classic-car-tours.com. To say the suggestion of a trip the weekend before was warmly accepted would be stretching it a bit.

This trip is a bit of a taster as they do European trips to Le Mans etc which if this is fun may be on the cards in the future. Does anyone have any experience of trips with this company?

In the perfect world, if I was 10 years younger and in better health.
I'd drive over from Austria with the Mk6 and trailer on the back with my Mk1 and hanging on the back of that the Honda Monkey bike!

Each to there own but pulling into the AGM Carpark with that lot I reckon would look pretty darn cool. 😎

It's nice to dream! 😂👍

Hi to all the GAPPER's, going to the AGM this weekend?
Well we have a mini GAP competition running if you're there, so come along and enjoy the fun.   :thumbs:

And as if you didn't know already I'm going to be there, so our normal bribery rules still apply!  :lol:  :thumbs:

Hello my friend, good to hear you are still in to the GAP and thanks for reminding me! 😉

Hopefully Hairyarse will be able to provide us the list of winners from the AGM. Unfortunately with so much going on I just don't remember off the top of my head.
I know that the winner 🥇 was really close to the grand total of the 3 cars, not much more than a hundred pound or so.

As for a new GAP season this winter, well it might be possible but only if I can find someone to take care of the scoring.
A player/scorer, we have an Excel template and it takes someone maybe an hour per week to maintain it but our Chairman 36thcrazyfist would be better placed to explain as he did it last time.

Wow Thanks.😀
Look when you're laptop is up and running give me and Si 36thcrazyfist  a shout and we can sort you out 👍🏼

The way it works for you is like this roughly.

Sunday morning I post up a new car each week.
As the guesses come in you log them in a spreadsheet dated for that week. It means you have to keep your eye on the ball not to miss any.

Friday at say 12:00pm we stop taking new guesses, although we have to be a little flexible on that because we do have players as far away as Australia!

Now you can complete the sheet which will give you the top three.
You then send that information to me as soon as you can so that I have time to prepare the results for posting first thing Saturday morning.
I like to post them early Saturday morning so the UK players and followers of GAP see them first while having their breakie. 😂

You can play of course because I won't send you the asking price of the car until you have guessed, so there's no way of cheating as players can only guess once, no edits either.

We are a team and I rely on the scorer because I'm fully focused on running the game and all that goes with it.
Just to give you an idea I spend about 20 hours a week doing just that.

So that should give you an idea of what your in for. 😂

So please think about it and just let me know! 👍🏼

Thanks again for stepping up, it means we are a go for 'SEASON 4'!
I'll be in touch with you soon with more info.
I've a lot to do to update the landing page and announce the start but I'm looking at the end of October or the beginning of November so we have time.

Regarding your encrypted hard drive.
It won't make any difference the fact that it is encrypted unless it is classified as 'Secret or Top Secret' because your regular out going data like free emails, photos, attachments are sent 'Unencrypted'.

The drive is encrypted against external internet-based attacks and theft of the device. For example since my illness I've been writing my posts on my phone 📱 which is encrypted as are all my laptops.

But if you want to build up a separate laptop that's cool 😎
In case anyone is wondering I've been involved in HD encryption for the past 17 years, sometimes at development/implementation  level.

By the way I do strongly advise people to encrypt their devices and make regular backups to second and third party sources like the Cloud and an external hard drive! 😉 👍🏼
