The North/South Divide

[sidecar bloke]

Ahoy Sparra', you old dog. North/South dinna concern yourself or worry that lad of your's, Michael's pretty little 'ead. If you're goin a be on the winning side you best be a Southern Softie. P1 we got Cotton Bud Etheridge, P2 Hardman Hodgkins, P3 Half Handy Houghton, Brian the Maidenhead Marauder, the one they call Kingsmill who can snap a T45 tube just by looking at it and Dangerous Roger!

Those Northern Numpties apart from the Veteran Eddy and Vic (the nearly people) who have they got? Mike Bellaby who's cannon keeps going up in smoke, Si Smith who likes to do things single handed, the Rotherham Flyer, Kerry and the Big Twin, along with Keith Latheron who has been known to jump ship.

I tell you Cap'n your powder's drier with us.

Do you notice how quite the Captain of the Orange Jigger's gone - like a musket with no balls.

Annette, as fas as I am aware, it would be based on the date of the engine. We enter ours as a 1972 as that is the year of the engine. The chassis was made in or around 1968.

1968 Trips? The only one I can remember from that period with a triple was Mick Boddice's
