Ok guys we are two weeks since we launched the site I had a few comments (all good) and a few suggestions, which I will be working on in the next couple of weeks. The biggest change since the launch has been the gallery. I just could not get it how I wanted to I have upped sticks and moved it, hopefully you will like the new gallery.
I could still do with some input from you guys out there, need some equipment reviews, road trip stories, let see what you have got. So send me your road trip story or equipment review and the best in my opinion will win a prize (UK resisdents only). Any questions contact me via the contact form.
