EDITOR’S CORNER

This month’s combined issue makes it the largest Driveline newsletter ever. It didn’t start out that way back in August when I was preparing to edit the September issue. Situations beyond my control caused the Driveline to not reach you for two months. You can get the whole story later in this issue.

For now let me say I don’t want to have to go through this again (editing 2 months of club activities in one publication.)

This was a very busy summer for the club and there were many events – I hope you were able to take part in them. But wait… there is more to come!

See you on the road…
