Interior is all sorted, few other bit's and bobs done, but I'm still waiting on wheel centers before fitting the new wheels
I hope they get here before Friday then I can get them fitted Friday morning. Nothing like a last minute rush!

I must say I personally prefer the smell of parts wash to the polish thing, but the truck is as good as Terry can get her. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Is there somewhere we can clean the cars when we get there? cos after the 6(ish) hour drive i think the car could be quite dirty

sorry Terry i'll explain my "rural" remark - i'm not actually in Ketering if you were a crow (as they say) flying from Warkton church to the Red Lion at Cranford i'm out in those fields somewhere! sorry to deviate from the more important point of this thread, by the way is it going to snow over the weekend?
