Hi Willem,

Hi Paul/David,

Once that has cured I shall apply the red and black colour scheme. The 2 pack paints I am using ar...

Hi Paul,

Well done on the new site.
How long will the old site be in existence? as there is some good history there and some useful info'.
I checked out placing a photo in the photos section, but don't seem to be able to "browse" and upload.
