what happened to you today i arrived got webbed strait up as usual,10 mins later remembered you was around came out and youd gone, i have been a bit illusive of late as ive had my head locked into my mk1 escy, i only had until the end of this month to get it rolling to move it from the site thats sold, anyway the heats off its rolling and its rolled to a nother place where i can tackle fitting it up,if you need a hand hanging some panels come back to the yard tomoz and well arrange it
