Farnham: Travel day

Frith_20090919_IMG_3477

Sorry Kelly, but when there is a guy down the road that lets you run in the rain, has evenly matched cars, explains that ” this is rubbing racing, you’re allowed to put the guy into the tires buy hitting him sideways, just please no rear-ending” you have no chance at winning our business back.

See you Oct 1.

We entered the Radium Show and Shine parade by accident, these were just a few of the people that cheered for us.
