Restored Faith

Post by Murray » Sat Jul 23, 2016 7:25 pm

Hi there forum users,

I just wanted to pass on that my faith in humanity was totally restored on Friday!

I spent an amazing afternoon with Matthew (MXM) near Norwich at his lovely home and we spent our time chatting all things Citreon and tinkering with my S1 XM (we solved many niggles). He is a fountain of knowledge and it was a pleasure to spend time with him.

As with most forums, it is generally left to the few, to educate the many and this often goes without any acknowledgement.

In some small way I just wanted to redress this unbalance, I see the same names constantly responding to questions and queries in our forum and I simply wanted to thank you minority for all the support that you provide unconditionally to keep us uninformed, sane and help us keep these amazing cars on our roads.

Matthew, it was a pleasure to be in your company and I sincerely hope that we meet up again soon,

All the very best to few that admirably support us many!

Murray
:D

You couldn't have spent the time in better company, Murray.
We all prop each other up - it's what the forum's for.
Thanks for those kind words. ;)

Yes, I did go to the Practical Classics stand a few times but missed you each time,

It was a great day, Are you going to the show near Milton Keynes?

Can we meet up there?

All the best

Murray

Thank you for those very kind words Murray and it was good to see you and a pleasure to assist. I attach a photo of your lovely early car that I am sure will attract much further attention at the Chevron Rally in September! With regards, Matthew T.
