We couldn't take any more photos after the ones you see above, as I broke Andy's lens on his camera when he tried taking a mugshot of me. His lens cracked and imploded, I guess it didn't like the look of me. :lmao:

Yes Karen , us wee boys had a great time , & so did the other's , one of the kids rode in the front with the driver , sitting on miss redice lap , so he was happy . Was good going through the tunnel's went all dark , I mean darkkkkkkkk would have been a great time to scare someone , or scream out loud .... lol not that I would do such a thing with the kids being there . So at the end of the day everyone had a great time , & was great meeting one of the new memmber's chequers .

Another pic of the ute , plus the Mini I used to own before I got the ute .

Yeah it was a great little car to throw around , loved the corner's , I had it up to 180km's & ran out of road , so would have been good to see what the top speed would have been ...lol
