Jw - Was a scary time - Chris was OK after and I saw him again racing at Pukekohe in the early 2000's in a Jensen Healey.

Barry Moon, Reg Whittaker, and BMC BOY Ross Cammick caught up with Chris at Manfield in January along with Frank Karl who was racing - have a photo somewhere of the Lads - which Ross sent to me.

chatted with Chris weekend before lock down at a swapmeet, he was a motor mechanic at the post office when i was a sparky there and while our interests had different number of wheels as i'm a bike man, we could always get some enjoyment from each other on projects we'd seen in our feilds.

Thanks Roger, the first time I have seen my Elf Racing.
I am very pleased but I need to copy it and save it.

Cannot seem to save it.

Help...

Search for '4K Video downloader' Bruce. You only need the free version. More effective than the one I paid for (Xilisoft).

Saves YouTube video files to your PC.

Great work BRY3500, had heard / read about Videos being out there from Laurie Brensell, one of the organising Committee members - was Chairman I think.

Just realised it is Laurie's work but when I posted it - didn't work ..oops.
