| Well the move to Riley Engineering was finally completed for fitting of OTMR etc without any major mishaps. Fun was had at Hereford for the waterstop which they werent expecting us to require water and then the hoses had to be run through a shopping centre car park, all adds to the fun even if you have to do a tour of Hereford to get to the closest fire hydrant!!!
A good trip in general and also great to catch up with the guys from up north. Just one more thing to say, unfortunately the quality of the pics arent great and only a few came out reasonable. I know they arent the best quality but just trying to capture the occasion as best as possible. Most of the pics were used without the flash which unfortunately made the camara understeady for some reason, will look into this for furture reference so you have been warned!!! |
