Yes, I'm not surprised, you can see the amount of work that's gone into those from the outside runners.

No worries mate, glad you're pleased.

Before your time you young whipper snapper.

Oh, got my Morettes back from the painters this morning Jim, just letting them harden a bit more but watch out for pics when they're back in.
