Hi Fran's
Hope you fair better with the nitrile gaskets than me, but I would also
order a pair of paper gaskets Just in case,
Bob Harrison and I Landed at Losinj a beautiful Island south of Paula,
Then down to Dubrovnik, On the way back we flew into Portoroz Slovenia to
get back in the EU to cut down the hassle flying into Italy,
It was a great trip just a fair bit hotter than I would like,
Hope to see you at the LAA rally this weekend,
Regards
ivor
