Spirit of Cardiff - Part 2
Hello

I think that people may have missed the second part of the Spirit of Cardiff send off video so I've posted it with its own thread. There is an impressive turnout of RIBs.

I fuelled up behind Spirit in Cardiff.
He was first in the queue and took, I believe, 1200 litres of diesel.
I was second and took nearly 450 litres.

I would not like to have been no. 3 in the queue!

How did the spirit come to an end? I remember something of the longest rescue from mainland.
