    Well, The Andrew is a nickname for the Royal Navy, so perhaps something along those lines Andy…..

          Back on topic, a couple of paints have turned up for my Challenger. Both very different but I'm sure I'll find some mixture that works.

            Which lead to these. Full bearing set, battery, better low speed high torque motor and servos. One for gear changes and a heavy duty one for the steering.

            The SFR-1 is a combined controller for speed, sounds and lights which is fully programmable. Next to that is the loudspeaker then just some connections.
            Bottom row, left to right: rear lights, position lights and front lights.

            One will before the coming truck GB.
            So it's all Peter fault!

                      I was only wondering about the Dennis the other day. Built one when I was a teenager, just a few moons ago.

                          Not model related in any way...(unless you count the fact it's a newer model than I already own)....but yesterday I went mad and threw just under 10 grand at this and it'll be arriving on Tuesday..

                            Very nice Chris, I hope you have many years of trouble free motoring with it.

                              Cheers Ian,
                              I've ran an original Insignia (2011 plate) for the last 6 yrs and apart from a couple of things she's given me 99% trouble free motoring, ..thankfully she's being passed on to Mrs L, so she'll still be in the family so to speak..

                              Here she is..

                                I ran Vauxhalls for many years, starting with the first FWD Cavalier, followed by 5 more, interspersed with occasional Fords.
