I won a prize!!!!!!

I took my Portafold to a local show in Fife last week and got second prize in the display section coming second to a chainsaw display!!! This is the first time in over 30 years that I have won anything at a car show and was a nice surprise. http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq181/vauxhallbitz/P1040...
