Are they pics of the new ones or originals?

Gashead · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2008, 09:26 PM »

New one's !

Do you get the impression that Ian thinks this is a bad idea

MartyC · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2008, 09:28 PM »

I think he might be coming round to the idea......

Wait a moment.....

NO!

I expect the little bugger has got a couple in each variation !

Come to think of it he posted up a Candy Blue one not long back ! It looked that good it could have been one
