    Two Xmarkers Accidently Meet

    Last Saturday (Dec 3) my wife and I attend the 60th Daylesford Highland Gathering. Whilst strolling along Clan Row I spotted a gent who looked familiar. I then heard someone call out Bill and immediately realised it was fellow Xmarker billsides. We had a fantastic discussion ranging from vintage cars, to drilling for gas and oil and everything in between. Bill is one interesting bloke.

    No pic and it didn't happen, so here it is

    This is a great story. It re-affirms my good opinion of this forum.

    I have this theory that kilts generate their own gravity...

    A meeting was inevitable.
