Title: Firebird Freestyler - Back To It's Birthplace
Post by: Retrodan72 on December 29, 2011, 03:22 PM

The weather was nice by me on the 27th and RAD was down :'(, so I took the Bird for a trip back up to where she was built. :Great_Britain: :daumenhoch:

So, here it is, Units 5&6, Aber Park, Flint, the place that churned out so many excellent framesets, who'd have thought that they would still be getting ridden on today.

Funny you should say that Gaz, I was having a piss in the disabled toilet at the Station and thought 'Imay strangle Kojak here while i'm waiting for the train' but the Bird was outside being looked after by the ticket geezer so waited till I got home. :daumenhoch:
