Good stuff. I have passed them a couple of times now. I might get a look in myself on Saturday if my engine is ready to collect in Coleraine. If the weather is good I would say they will be working to make the most of it.

I have come across this allot on hire machines when th...

Great pictures Angus,thanks for posting them up. :thumbs_up: The young fella with his dad in the picture reminds me of my dad taking me out to watch machines at work.
