As long as the loose nut was on the steering wheel and not behind it!!!

Sorry we couldn't catch up, like you say, perhaps next year if not before.

Congratulations on getting it there and getting it running. Teething problems are all part of the fun and challenge. It least there were plenty of people at the show with carrier experience to help.

All the best.

Ben

Rick I was stood right next to your carrier at one point. You were doing a 180'
turn from Shaun's area to the opposite field. You looked a bit stressed, otherwise I'd have talked to you. Ron

sorry ron but don't let that angry look stop you from saying hello as that's my normal expression, you should see me me when things really go wrong. funnily enough i actually realised at beltring that i need to take a step back and not take things so head on and serious and despite the odd setback i actually came away refreshed and ready to carry on with the restorations (at least for now)

all the best
rick

He Lex i know where your house lives.

The Loyd got dirty on the first day's becouse of the English weather, but he's British to so no worry's. We had a very good time with the Loyd. Even lost a track on the first day (to much stuf of Lex in my loyd).

Next year??

Sorry i have not talkt to you all of you but yust dont know all the faces.

Paul
