  1. Hey there! My mum is Potsy Quigley and I'm thrilled to discover this site and get some news (she's being very tight lipped!). So if you happen to see them as you go (not sure how the whole convoy thingy works, PLEASE wish her Happy Birthday for the 6th of May, and Happy Mother's Day for Sunday (when I believe she was on the ferry from Athens?). Great hearing all about the trip, will be keeping an eye on this site from now on!
    Anyway, tell Mum that MIN (It's really Fiona, but we're a nickname family) sent her love and that we are all fine, don't miss her at all... and the wild party at her place didn't cause TOO much damage!

  2. Anzac jeeps and trucks are always providing great services. They are good for convoy belts or a group of vehicles working together.
