Billing Off Road Show 2024 | Lakeside course, Show&Tell in the M57 Land Rover
We had such a great weekend at the Billing off road show! Met some great people who have helped with our conversion & made some new Land Rover friends! h
We had the pleasure of being invited onto the Show & Tell Sunday afternoon by Steve at Land Rover Monthly. Thank you very much Steve for the warm reception!
We also did the Lakeside course but had to call it a day on lap 1 as our air filter took in a bit of water and we really needed her to get home...
See you next year!
