The FB/EK fuel lines are supposed to be earthed, but that is the first time I have seen it done that way :lol:

Off to Hinze dam, more great roads but the weather wasn’t playing nice, mist and light rain buggered up the views

On to Chillingham and we caught up with Amanda, Mangus on the forum, for a drive to Tyalgum for lunch
