Just found out that the eireball run this year will see half of the funds raised go to the haiti earthquake charity, fair play to them, a great cause hey.

Cheers for the info George

Just been on the sites now and they were just what i've been searcing for, unfortunately my bus won't be ready for the weekend but come spring she should be ready for action so those sites will be dead handy,

many thanks again

John.
