Yeah, look for the Black Pig or Steve's silver Transit van. I'll be there for the day on Sunday too, so would be nice to see him. Should take Phsycho Triko along to cruise around the pits on!
Loony, when you going to write us a piece on your paint business then? Show us how to pinstripe, take some shots of the guitars you've painted, give us spray can painters some helpful tips -like leave it to the professionals!
Would make an interesting piece for the Miscellaneous section.

You mean you'll write whatever I suggest? Great! I'll never have to write again! Some would say that'd be a good thing  :(

Had to drive down to Poole last night to see a man about reboring Ska Man's trike yokes, so was loading the Nats photos on the site at 2.0.clock this morning before getting up for work again at 3.30, so I'm off for a couple of hour's snooze! Seeya later people.
