Hello everybody just thought i would pipe up.and say hello. as a new owner After years of admiring the lines of a gte and my home town being Tamworth i thought i should do something about it and buy one, so i did..somehow i seem to have got carried away and bought another as well . Both 6a's that require rebuilding so all set for a challenge. I hope to perhaps catch up with some of you at various events
Cheers Andy

Never try and argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you based on experience.
