Here for 4 days.......seafood diet and cervesas please......:thumb2:D

Having had the dubious benefit of a 'classical' education, and been closely allied with medicine and surgery in another life, I thought you may like to meet Asclepius........
He was discovered at Empuries.....seriously interesting place......

Hi guys, back from a short break in NE Spain, a lovely time had by all....:thumb2

On a very practical note, the tractor did exceptionally well......on the return journey, at 70 - 80 mph, on the motorway, total journey distance 372 miles, total fuel used 55 ltrs (+/- 12.08 gals), giving fuel consumption of approx 30.07 mpg......with all windows open, roof bars on.....not too bad...:nenau
