Was time to start heading north again for NFR. On the way we stumbled across a few nice cars ont he border. Seemed to be heading for a Targa and maybe car show

Once at NFR my clutch cable decided to give way... Glad it did here as thanks to Weasel one of the locals came back into town on the Sat and made me a new inner for my cable.

This then also brought out the all new domesticated Weasel... who would have guessed
