Utterly fantastic couple if days! The playground was indeed a learning experience for me! But really enjoyed it. Drive out yesterday was lovely through cheddar gorge and down to Bream sands. Decided to come home last night and beat the bsnk holiday traffic. Off out yo purchase a cf card reader to upload the many images from the dslr....lol x

Yes.
Very slowly the brakes were pulling really hard to the left, so didn't go over 55mph with plenty of gap to car in front.

camo sinka, is that the one CJ had about 5 years ago?
had the rear lower corners cut off years back, think it was white originally and was a tree surgeon/carpenter type fella IIRC .
