Haha small world, I was working up in Brechin for about 2 months there on a scottish water site and just as you enter the town I remember seeing a magenta saff at a plant place, was a 4x4 just as I seen your sig pic and your location isn't far from brechin I thought what's the chances.

Me and the guy I work with both have cossies we kept meaning to pop by for a blether but we worked long hours and never had a chance lol.
