Post by Antony Rowley »

Hi All,

A fantastic day was had by all 8) The sun shone and thanks to Roy & Taylor we installed our brand new bridge. It's as though our old one just reappeared :wink: Some photo's a couple of video clips below:

Hi Paul,

Great photo's of a great location. It really s hard to beat. Great company too and you get the feeling things will start happening now :wink: Don't forget the link mate so I can order my section as soon as possible. Just had a look at my calendar and we are due to meet up again on "D Day" the 6th June but unfortunately or fortunately :? I'm flying out on the 5th. So the next scheduled meet will be 20th June so I'll see you then.

Paul, the blank firer is loud and with the recoil it's superb mate 8) . In fact the whole tank is a beauty and real fun to drive :D .

See you soon,

Ant

What's this, young Vinnie has his own log in 8) yes we had a good day, just a shame you and your Dad couldn't come. How is the hand mate, and have you had that receiver checked out yet?

Hi Vinny,
If things don't work out with the hand, have you seen Robocop? There is always hope. Youv'e just got to break into the baddie's HQ and steal back the arm. I'm sure your dad will help fit it.
Cheers Dunc
