yeah i couldn't wipe the grin off my face either!!!!

I watched him for 3 hrs until we had to shoot off to the presos.

Next time he wants put the 5.3 on with the speed board and crack the 30knots so yeah i guess he hooked.

Cheers again Jimbob for the loan of the GPS.

I can't believe he traveled 6.58km in that short time he must done a fair few km over the 3hrs.
