Title: Why some people turn alcoholics...
Post by: Jonathan Poll on August 18, 2011, 09:45:17 PM: Hello,

Some people buy beer just for the sake of it. Just like my dad. Look what he just bought...

(Yes, I did want it)

Named after the old Trojan van apparently. Used as a mobile Jamaican music delivery machine.

Plenty of Micro Breweries around these days too!

He presented Dave Hambleton with a golden one for the Trust! Both owned Trojan cars therefore offering the loop of the link.
Trojan manhole covers have nothing to do with Croydon either. However the racing cars, Trojan and MaClaren as well as Elva do. TAke a look at the TRust website as it is amazing what Trojan got into.

Post by: Rob Dobie on August 21, 2011, 05:59:06 PM: I was wondering about that as it seems that our latest MEMBER is called STIFFY. ;D ;D

Post by: Big Al on August 22, 2011, 10:00:58 AM: Not STIFFY BYNG? Look out Bertie!

Condoms, sleeping bags for slugs. Well they are homeless Snails. You should feel sorry for them.
