Sorry to hear of your woes Mick, Neil and Mark....and sorry to hear about your Pooch Thomas, always tough but at least you are with a good crowd.
... And at least another 2 returning on low loaders , that's 5 in total .... + I've just repaired Simons gear linkage that had come apart and at loads of other cars had issues from not starting, loosing gears through to 2 cars running out if fuel .... It's been a record number of car failures !

In Kendal now. Glasgow's Riverside Transport Museum was fun. Thanks. Brendan and Mike. What did I say last night "If you can't fix it don't own it"?

Thanks everyone for making my life hell over the weekend and that doesn't include all the organisation before hand, I'm never doing it again :bounce: :bigsmurf: :albino:

Seriously, the weekend was fantastic and of course other than the detailed planned done by Mike that weather really made the weekend.

As I said on Sunday night it's about people and the DDK family so here are some of that family:

See you next year ...
