my Dreadnought visit
Was out enjoying the scenery today with the other half and luckily the return leg took us past the Dreadnought garage in Callandar. So I popped in to see the place as I've never been before.

The guys there couldn't have been more welcoming. The short time I was there was really fantastic... and after that run through the woods in that mental ZT I was grinning all the way home. Shame the Race ZT was away but the rest of the fleet is just as impressive! I really want some of those XPower seats now!

Some pictures...

Damn sexy!



If only...



Workshop from the office roof





A very impressive wee machine



Again big thanks to Brian, Paul and Claire (the only one too busy to stop by the looks of things haha) for the hospitality. I will be back!

It would be great for a meet, and I did mention that a few of us were fairly local so might be up on mass... but it would need to be through the week as they are shut at weekends
