Alvin

Well done

150 k you are nearly half way to Mt Gambier.

You are right Trevor Simkins at Shepparton.

Trevor is a regular at the nationals so you catch him up there. Owns the burgundy Cobra "BARDUP". Tevor won the Show and Shine last year?


Always has his computer with him.

Again well done Alvin. And the weather is getting better!!

Cheers

Bernie
