"Spinning Wheel" by Blood, Sweat, and Tears (IIRC) Now it's "Turn, Turn, Turn" by someone I can't remember. Oh, I get it - SARJ, turning, wheel, spinning . . . LOL :cool:

(for the record it's "Turn! Turn! Turn!" by The Byrds - thanks LSainsbury :)   )

Still PGT'ing and torquing away at the corner bolts and ground straps.

Almost done with the last corner.

Then they get the big torque wrench to put final torques on the main bolts.

Racing over Eastern Austrialia into night time (would be a great pass if you're in that area of the world).
