      Not me I'm contemplating retiring. I'm not sure I'll ever get to retire!

  3. Why is it that no one can seem to make bogie sides with the correct wheelbase? Last time I checked Mk1s were 8'6". Manufaucturers seem to want to make them with anything but that measurement!

      Likewise, Justin, you've certainly got elements of DRAG thinking about sprung diesel bogies now! :-)

      It's a slipery slope with no end to it! Once you start... It really was great to meet everyone.

  12. I got to meet Ted Polet today, one of my childhood modelling heros. Dead chuffed!

  13. Feeling the effects of staying up 'till 3am watching the NFL. Was worth it though to see Brady's 5 TD passes in the first half. NO @ SF was great too. NO score too quickly!

      I'm not betting against Brady after last night! At least not while Gronk is on the field. What a beast! Alex Smith was impressive last night. Am going to try and stay awake for NYG @ GB. Should be good.

  14. Is very excited to have been asked to demonstrate at this years Scaleforum.
