G,day, well how the trip go, I should imagine it will be something that you 
will carry in the memory bank until you die. I tried to get hold of you a 
couple of times but you must have either been looking at engines or partying 
so I left you to it, anyway what did you finish up buying, I can't wait to 
see. Cheers Cam
