My John O Groats Diary

[jaffa]

Really good pictures there gez and an interesting read, I was looking forward to this thread since you mentioned it last week.

@seedy, cheers for snapfish details......just love your encrypted unbreakable password for dw.

Thanks for comments glad you enjoyed my little effort. have some pics of fork truck all around j o g so will post them when i get ok from firm.
Picked the trucks up wednesday from st ives postal sorting office and well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i didnt know you should go in the "top" way so i went thru the town and nearly got stuck down narrow street and a left turn
Only just made turn after dropping suspension to get under sticky out bits of the buildings on the turning and i do mean only just.many thanks to the driver who watched my back swing as i turned. alls well thr fork truck had only one problem in about 700 miles and that was a need for 2 ltrs of oil so not a bad effort by the team or the truck,

Gez, if you go on any more interesting drives I think we'd all appreciate another one of your little presentations.

You are officially DW's very own Michael Palin!

(Might be asier if you post photos onto Photobucket next time though.
