and finally home after moving 2 other cars, and a mahoosive traffic jam on the M1!

many thanks to edge for his help today, would have been impossible without it dude!

ahh, the man that invented 24 hour trailer rental centers is a genius, dropping a trailer off at 12:45 am is very handy at times!

don't worry about it dude, same applies here, without your help I would still only have one fox body !!!!!
