See Silicone Express II Live/ Silicone Express II Näyttelyissä!

Here's quick shot from yesterday when took Silicone Express II to annual DOT-inspection. Inspection went good and with out any problems at all. Truck is alittle dirty cause haven't had time to get her washed down and polished up yet.


Down bellow is listed shows I have planned to do for this season. Please note it's only a plan and there might be some changes done to schedule, if needed from any reason.

Anyways, don't hesitate to come over to chat a few words!

Ohessa pikakuva eiliseltä katsastusreissulta. Katsastus sujui loistavasti ilman huomautettavaa, ja nyt on tuoreleima papereissa. Kenworth on vielä hieman talven pölyjen peitossa, kun en ole ehtinyt vielä pestä ja kiilloittaa talven jäljiltä.

Alla on lista näyttelyistä ja tapahtumista joissa alustavasti on suunniteltu käytävän. Kyse on suunnitelmasta ja se saattaa muuttua syystä tai toisesta.

Jutellaan kun törmätään!!!
