Yeah, I took those photos on my new 6230i, it has a 1.3 mega pixel camera, bluetooth, mp3 player.......... etc.....
Awesome bit of spraying I think you will agree, and in the last picture, you can see one of the little aliens I made. Not come up with a name for the speices as yet, but they look like the ones you blast in the age old 80's classic arcade game of "Galaxian"

No, it was because I was spraying in a force 10 gale, and as the paint was leaving the can it was being blown off into the atmosphere, missing the hinges lol

Just had a brainwave 
The lady who owns the garage next door to me, her husband (before he died) was an engineer/mechanic and her garage is full to the brim with all his old tools, welding equipment, air lines, compressors, you name it its in there somewhere.
And attached to the roof beams is...........
So, going to have a word as she said i could use whenever i wanted and whatever i wanted.
So the engine maybe in sooner than i anticipated
Yay to the old lady next door
