Having just read all the above, I'm glad I turned in when I did - you guys stay up too late......my bedtime cocoa seems to have a different effect.
Talking of paint jobs I will send an email of a Gen-u-ine AC289 painted in the Stars 'n Stripes and entered in an autotest on grass circa 1971. You just can't make it up....Maybe Nik would be kind enough to bung it on here as I'm sure Mr. Nedsel et al will be amused. And appalled.

Trevor - can't wait to see the pictures. Once I figure out the process, I'll post some of my own.

Ned
Yep, computers and me are incompatible. I have a genuine talent for making them crash, often by just walking into the room - ask many of my ex-clients. But I will figger out this loading business, provided the damn thing decides not to electrocute me. Or worse.

The car sounds good, slasher sounds a bit scary (or careless with his spray gun!) |

Slasher the Painter -
I can confirm that - I have guardsman blue in places that i didn't know I had places. Mind you he does a mean job with a bucket of Princess Blue, I have to say. Convey my kind regards. The boy's an artiste.
Brooklands - so it WAS you who had the keys to the store.....(joke?)
