And it looked/sounded the don :)

Red, stickered up, and heading northbound through the roadworks about half 2/3pm ish yesterday.

I was travelling southbound, but spotted it a mile off - The noise as it went past made me realise I need another 5 (albeit GTT) in my life...

Like this idea, blast it, possibly have the welding done if not a bank breaker and dip it. Someone would be interested in it surely..

Wow. That was a joy to peruse. I couldn't help but look at all 308 pics :)

So, Clee, is your garage kitted out like that and do you have 3 expert Finnish mechanics on a retainer for the next year or so? :D
