Wye Aye Man, welcome aboard Bill, will be interesting to see what you have up there in Geordie land, very rare I get over to the North East now. If you need any tips, hints, and advice you have come to the right place. Hope you have fun.
Steve.

Gary Hey Gary, I resemble that remark as I haven't been in a band since high school!!!    And yes I highly doubt there would be a company anywhere in the world who would shift us as you say!!!

Thanks for the welcome replys i appreciate them,Cuban it's trucks at the moment i'm just starting,like the big models wheather it's trucks,cranes or dirt but space,cost and a nagging wife stop me from getting what i like,hopefully tomorrow i'll sort a bit space out for some pics.
Cheers
Bill
