    Don't bother with 1/48 scale stuff JR, It is the 1/87 scale for me. My earlier comment refered to my having to compete with 1/48th, 1/72 and 1/76 scale modelers because at that time there weren't enough people building in those scales to warrant a specific category for each one. Competition was stiff, but I managed. Hope you all have FUN !

      Mike, I ride my bike back and forth to work everyday. That's 13 km with rain, snow, wind, sun, or hurricanes and all other crap! 700 miles is a bit far for a weekend I'm afraid……………….

            Right, understood.
            Rick will do , If I remember last time there was not a lot of 1.87, but will make the effort to find it .

              Hey Rick,

              Pedals and a 21 gear Shimano changer. I try to keep myself fit with riding it everyday. You have to be careful though as there are so many idiots who want to take you out on every corner and intersection…..

              Thanks Buddy, but No sail yet!!! Still working the legs...…..

                That's good Allen, if you keep at it you will most likely live to a ripe old age. Rick H.

                  Good for you, you do realise that we motorists get points for having you off - 5 for into the kerb, 10 for on a corner and a whopping 50 if we get you in the hedgerow. And based on that I have found you a new bike, all set up for everyday accidents, but you have to bring your own paper....

                  Happy trail-ways,
                  Mike.

                          You're right Rick, for the old Sod's, not us young'uns. Besides, it doesn't have a 21 speed Shimano on it anywhere…...………….

                            I skipped the Shuttleworth show today because of the weather, so I will probably go to Peterborough, pending approval by the Finance Manager. Is your mobile number still the same John?

                              Yes Pete, seems there might be a good turn out from the forum.
