[quote="ad210358"]Yes, Paul, well organised, good to see some of the old faces and a few new ones :thumbsup:

All we needed was some milk :whistle:

If the large Tesco in a down-town part of Liverpool had not frustrated me by only selling twin packs of the biscuits I had agreed to bring and having to wander up and down several isles' looking for a staff member I would not have forgotten the milk. However as Taz said he and I were OK with black coffee.

Everybody has said what a great day out Taz organised which it was, but as far as I can see nobody has thanked
1-Taz for the excellent Lancashire Cheese
2-Andy for the Aylesbury Chutney
3-Pegleg for the cake.

So I will "Thank you Gents".

Glad everybody appears to have arrived home safely as it took me an hour and ten minutes to do 20 miles due to traffic congestion in Liverpool city centre and the Mersey tunnel. Hate to think what the MPG was as average speed probably approx. 15 MPH and the A/C on flat out. (Having said that it has never been switched off summer or winter since I acquired the car).

So all in all a fantastic day, were are we going next?

On a serious note.
Although we paid for the event, I hope you all agree that LRE looked after us. For those who've never been inside a vehicle assembly plant, the cost was worth it for the tour alone.
So Thumbs Up to LRE who also provided a 9 speed camera loaded 2014MY Evoke.

I hope Tata give Halewood some investment to help secure the plants future.
I think I said something along those lines last time we went. If Tata have told the workforce that they are safe for at least ten years, then I'd hope so.
However, it would seem that with the volumes being sold, efficiency isn't a real problem.
For now. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.
