slice Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Just love it!! A nobody that tommy has already dressed and classed. Dron writes a regular column in Octane. He is the author of several books including Porsche: Engineering for Excellence (2008) and Alan Mann - A Life of Chance (2012, with Alan Mann). Sounds like just the guy you would want to meet at a party, engineering for excellence YAWN. Sorry Andrew but REALLY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1949 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I could say I think I sat opposite Ronnie Barker on the train back to my ship when I was in the "Andrew" Also, I could say when I was served a pint by the barmaid in the bar in the NAAFI in Faslane her sister was a friend of "Lulu" Also, there is a very, very well known tv celebrity living in my wife's parents village which does not wish to be known but is a pillar to the community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
