Hi,

Thanks for that, should at Shepton next year, so welcome to pop by then.

Thanks again to everyone for the positive comments! Just done a few jobs to get her back up to scratch, obviously its had a full repaint, sorted a couple a couple of oil leaks, fitted new tyres, new fifth wheel, new spot lights, chassis infill and some other little bits and pieces. Got a few more bits to do before the show season starts next year. Should hopefully have my 20ft container trailer sorted for my FL7 which was also at the show by the start of next year, thanks.
