I don't know him at all,but at first I thought he was a bit of a big headI've never spoke to him,or seen much of him,but I asked him on here last year for advice and he sent me the items in the post,that i needed,no charge and he said give them back to me when you have finished using them,all I can say without being a brown nosier,he is one really nice decent bloke!!!! It just goes to show,you think that you know someone and they surprise you,never judge a book by it's cover.all I can say is a big thank you for your help and I hope you enjoyed the whiskyIt was a pleasure to meet you and have a chat about your lovely cars,will you be bringing the Opel to the lakes?? That is one mean lovely different motor and I bet you s c r e w the balls out off it.cheers foxy...
