A big thank you to Rich too, for helping out with the swop, really appreciated that mate and to Dan....... the OOF supervisor  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D What would we have done without you? ::)

It ended up being an Midlands meet with 4 Omega's and a baby wanna be mig (Astra) sneaking in amongst them :o :D :D :D

Cheers for a great day guys, thoroughly enjoyed it and thanks to Paul who supplied us with hot and cold drinks all day, so much so, that we run him dry of supplies ;) ;D ;D ;D
