      Heard only good things about the liquid chrome, so I thought I would give it a try.

      Right now the next buy is a long way off. just got back from the service center with 4 new winter tyres on steel rims. £1165! damb. Still cheaper than the last cars though 4x4 tyres are even worse!

        Tell me about it , 4 x Jeep Cherokee tyres, fitted, no rims, and close to what you paid.
        New battery was silly money too.
        I'm in the wrong racket.

              Comes in around third in my cartoon universe. Perishers is number one (mostly because I thought the eyeballs in the sky was an inspired work of genius), followed by Charlie Brown, then Calvin and Hobbes.

                Doonesbury, & Dilbert also, as I labored in a cube farm for some years and we would send in suggestions on occasion. Still remember fondly Calvin's amazing snow sculptures.

                            Nice haul. Turning Japanese was by the Vapours…..I really think you need to look up the urban myth meaning of the song Bob….it’ll probably make you laugh.

                                I rather like the Airfix Great Western Peter. I wonder how old it is? Look forward to seeing you build it.
