It’s been a pleasure for me to read all the posts down the years, even though my contributions these days are few and probably not at all helpful. It seems ‘the list’ these days is a mere shadow of its former self but then so many contributors have died, sold their cars and/or migrated to other forums. I’m a member of two of those others which frankly I find rather boring and over-segmented into different model groups whose adherents/supporters don’t want to cross-polinate on model preferences.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Anyway, keep the posts coming please, everyone.
