Gentlemen,

Sitting in a field at the GDSF waiting for the Rally to start tomorrow, all the usual reprobates are here so should have a good time.

Lambe,

The word your looking for is a "Dongle" plugged into the side of my Netbook, I'm most impressed with it. Its one from Vodaphone. Will upload a couple of pictures later on.
Weather has been very nice and hot and lots of nice engines to look at.

Gentlemen,

A little Idea for Paul to try!

A rather nice Foden truck with a difference, built for billy Smarts Circus and is very close to me but I have never seen it until today.

There is actually a pair of working Rustons back to back inside the back with Switch gear and a workshop.
It was used to power the Circus.

Very pretty. However keeping old wagons on the road is a very expensive business and also outside the aims of the Museum I suspect.

Mark and jon,

Leg allowed me to walk further afeild today and didnt give me to much pain, been cloudy and cooler today, thank god, as I type sun has come out.

Went and had a proper look at the lorry today close up, nice unit.
Just remembered, I got the museum a plug on Steam Fair FM this morning but compared to Rob from Chippenham, he got Iam Bissett to allow him to put up a display board by the SEM tent and all being well will have his own spot next year for IF, he has also been dropping leaflets all over the site at various places and with Len Gillings and myself weve had little display units out front with leaflets which have been going like hot cakes. I've had to top up mine every day.
