Re: Mummy Pig

Regards,
Mark

Re: Hello All

Hi Robin,

I am based in Kent, always interested in going to the odd show as long as it is not to far away, the old girl may be capable of crusing at 65mph now but I am not sure weather my teeth will take more than about 100 miles :roll:

Pictures to follow....
