I like the design of your mowing tractor - it's quite neat. I thought it was only a few people in the UK that raced lawnmowers. But I see that the American ones (who have websites, anyway) use super-charged lawnmowing tractors. The British ones have (...) (21 years ago, 27-May-03, to lugnet.town)

Hello all, This year I visited the 103th (actually I don't remember the number) Sequim Irrigation Festival. It was a really good event.

Very nice! I like how you compressed a fairly complex building down to one baseplate and still managed to preserve the style of the building. I have considered building Disney rides and buildings as well, but just haven't gotten around to it. Brad (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.disney, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)
