Returning after 6 weeks in the England
and meeting, talking to members of the
various F Registers, we pay way more for
our vehicles. Yes we have higher levels

Registration and MOT (RWC) he paid 600

starting at 20 times more.

Spot
the
Differences!
Recently Andrew Coon
competed at his first hill
climb at Rob Roy. Whilst the
weather was inclement he

see if you can find them all!
