Oh that’s a fabulous photo, Jane. I love the bullet holes but I’m glad I wasn’t in it when they were ‘decorating’ the car. 😉

Hi Sue – fancy you having been there! It is quite something isn’t it? No doubt European health and safety rules will put paid to it eventually but certainly a great event for the moment! 🙂
