I'm Baaaaack!

Post by DaiRees »

Hello dudes, did ya miss me? :lol: Bet you didn't even notice I was gone eh? :frown: :cry:

Well the Rees clan in their awsome Pug wagon have been to sunny Scotland on their hols, with an overnighter in Blackpool on the way back. Had a brilliant time. :cheesy:

1083 miles of comfort and enjoyment 8) (well except for the bloody traffic on the M6 on the way back :? )

Hols were brilliant cheers mates.

As for the car, I thought I felt one, single missed beat at one point..... but I might have been being paranoid :shock: :oops: :roll: . A long trip like that really makes you appreciate what a fine car for covering lots of miles the 406 is :mrgreen: .

Anyway, if you're interested you can see a small selection of the 500ish :shock: photos that I took here (well I've got a new camera :P ).

Sounds kind of like marriage to me.... no doubt forum is female with this kind of 'punishment' for no real reason.
