  1. No dog in this fight, but just came across this. Take a look at what he has available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135028207572?itmmeta=01HW2FRN3SHZR635CPKQVTYP9B&hash=item1f704eefd4:g:5bYAAOSwoeZmJWTh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwPtrFGQ9gMzwmuNvH9Q5hUXX92W6kKmK0MN5Ni7A4zgIz5YySDM27kL1Gl%2B1ntXS16OBrY%2B8nhZNet3soLehVa8KzUD0zRG8u6FUFbX0f2bbj8ZMnwzN4ANsDtwQEdKOv%2F8u9S%2Bw4GV%2B6VcfsGU8d7%2FDd6ILGV4XGfIc3dabpNspedrKXDzRI0k9FRirpRunsUGRCpTTxFDMMT8TrRYhJQ4iikuhQAqGpOTVnQLFdjNRPn4ZrPK4Unim9%2Bxr8IRyCQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_7R4s_gYw Not a plug for him or ebay but I'm amazed he has stayed below the radar.
  2. Yes, I'm with you on that. When I were nowt but a nipper, I had and still do suffer from the same condition. Back then it wasn't heard of and my schoolwork had the odd red mark here and there. I do it with numbers too, something I had to watch as I did many thousand calculations for HMRC entries, and if you got it wrong, you or the importer could get fined for misdeclaration. I've had to make about 4 corrections in this text, so I still have to be careful.
  3. I've owned a few that belonged in a kennel, but this is the one I would like to still own. (Note, this is not my example, but the only one I have found that is identical) TPU 517E 1967 Vauxhall VX-4/90 in Pinewood/Pampas Green with a Walnut and black interior. It handled like a barge in a gale, but it took me on my first non family holiday - with my then girlfriend. I replaced it with a 1725 Hunter GT and sold it to my Best man. 2 more owners before it died and was abandoned by an American. The Council recovered it and donated it to the local college for the Mechanical Engineering dept. Most of them went for banger racing, or just dissolved. Mine was somewhat re-enforced with heavier gauge steel underpinnings.
  4. If it makes you feel any better, prior to DW issuing the kit, I re-vamped both my FROG kits into blue and violet schemes, and everything came from the spares box. Not perfect but nobody noticed at Telford.
  5. Ordered an item on the 11th, and paid for delivery on 13th. No show. Delayed in German Customs. It arrived Ipswich depot this morning so should be here later. I suspect some recompense is due.
  6. I had your problem, one of our kind members gave me a used one. Not perfect, but got me out of a scrape, not that I've built it yet.
