Hi mate, yeah I have had some conversations with Kev on here pal, he is a top bloke and gave me some great advice!!
I am still waiting for the next Cambridge meet to come up so I can tag along with Kev lol
Rough Close is in Coventry, its on the 23rd March, if you do a search on here it will bring up loads of stuff!!

Hi Spen
