Fortunately we had no trouble on the M6, lots of others haven't been so lucky.

Your no joking! Looked more like a carpark on friday :?

No so bad going home though

Yeah, I'm thinking last night was a good idea !

A great day, good to catch up with familiar faces, and to meet a few new ones, I always wish that there was time to meet everyone there, and put faces to all the names on here, but there never is :(

I was also very happy to have been able to purchase a brand new wing, already painted in Diamond white, from 'Just Transits' who had a stall on site, and was quite staggered by the fast and efficient fitting team, consisting of two top notch boiler engineers (Ake and G-man) and a TV/satellite engineer (AndyG) who fitted the wing in what seemed like 10 minutes!, while I looked on and pretended to help with spanners and things :oops: :oops:

Tim (Dieselhead123) educated me a little more, as he does every time I talk to him, about the actual simplicity of diesel injection systems, and I'm now a wiser ( :!: ) person, (if not slightly more bewildered :shock: ) 8) :P

I was surprised when I jumped back in the van for the drive home to find that the time was 11:35, but was backing on to my drive just after midnight. Shiny new wing appeared to make the van go faster than ever :mrgreen: :lol:

No worries, it's back to dirty again already, but at least the rain on the roof beads nicely now it's polished
