    Default Home at last!

    Home at last, went to Alice to pick up my new toy on Saturday, came home yesterday the slowest drive that I have ever had between here and Alice.

    Taken near the Barrow Ck pub. Can you see Peter any where in the photo?


    This morning I started to dismantle her to get her off the trailer a couple of hours later I was covered in 40 plus years of grease, dust and swarf.
