Back Home from London…Ohio

Cars Arrive Back Home in Wareham from London C-Car Show

Every time I forget what a cool job I have, I walk around the building and take some pictures with my cell phone camera. I swear more things happen on a daily basis here. This morning, the truck arrived from the Ohio LCS show, we unloaded it, and were back to normal business by 9:30 in the morning. That’s quite an operation. Here are some photos:
