Not posted on this thread before but today I...

Got High Speed 1 to St Pancras, then normal train to Biggleswade to collect Sam Burtons DTi

Drove from Sams to Nitros (Ken) in Reading to help remove the tow bar I needed from one of Kens fleet  8)

Drive home feeling chuffed that I have a wicked DTi Omega and a tow bar to fit to it!

Overall, a very good day!!

Gave our trusty VW Caddy van a thorough going-over.

Nowt amiss and in fine fettle at over 140k miles. Very pleased really, as we've owned it for over seven years now!


The underside's pretty well like the day it left the factory, fair play! :y





Then gave my quad-bike a good fettling:


... in readiness for it's annual week-long work-stint on the campsite at the Welland Steam Rally ...





where it'll be thrashed when I ain't looking expertly handled by the two (adult) OOFers geezers on the right:


... who seem to think that they're drivin' V6's!

Just spent this morning giving our former TD a full service ... 'cos it'll also be joining us at the Welland Steam Rally in a few weeks time! :y


Still running beautifully at 167k miles, and in pretty good shape at nearly 15 years old! ;)

Going to give it some long overdue TLC at the weekend :y
