Union of South Africa "The Hadrian" 27th October 2012

Had a wonderful journey today and great food so big thanks to all who worked hard to make it possible and get us back to Leeds only a few minutes later than we expected.

Below is a pic having just arrived back in Leeds

 

I like to anounce the late arrival of another video from this trip:

Re: The Hadrian Saturday 27th October

Excellent; we have not had a diesel on the back squabble for ages!

 

Re: The Hadrian Saturday 27th October

I think you've aimed that at the wrong person, I'm not the one who's trying to raise a tired old argument about diesels on the back.
I've never contributed an opinion one way or the other.

 

Re: The Hadrian Saturday 27th October

While since you chirped up, when u hear any engine at idle, as opposed to offering help it is distinctly different, maybe you need a new hearing aid, a colleague who knows about this also offered the same opinion.

Until then keep taking you pictures, and getting a free show.....

 

Re: The Hadrian Saturday 27th October

Let's assume that you and your knowledgeable colleague after listening in the comfort of your own home to a compressed video taken on a windy day are right about the diesel,
(you do have a 50/50 chance after all)................then what was your original point?

Let me guess.....another chance to stir up that tired old argument again, it's time to give it a rest you're boring!

Here's a couple of nice pictures for you to look at instead,

60009 on the ECML

60009 on the S&C

Go to it lads, trade insults.
You, any of you , have an opinion, fine. But try to be a bit more mature, you do yourselves a disservice when you resort to trading insults. :tsk:

 

Re: The Hadrian Saturday 27th October

Some hard graft gone into getting it clean and sparkly as seen in Stuarts shots. Well done to the fellas responsible.

 

Re: The Hadrian Saturday 27th October

Superb shots Stuart with the first one being a shot in a lifetime with the rainbow .

 

Thanks Simon for the comment its much appreciated . Steve

 

Just seen this on You Tube.

Absolutely spine tingling stuff. What a whistle. And what must Jo Public have thought as the A4 swung into view with whistle wide open!

Forget the X Factor, this has the biggest WOW Factor ever!
