Ratman,
I'm having trouble locating you, I have a map of the world (current) with all the countries flags & can not locate your banner on the list, as i said a few pages back i'm in Fredericksburg, Virginia, east coast U.S.A.  .... Soooo where are you?


         SR.

Sorry  :o I thought my location was just under the flag like on most forums........wooooppppsss
I'm in Saltfleetby on the East coast of Lincolnshire UK. The flag represents Lincolnshire.
I'm a Yellow Belly born and bred though sadly I'm the last of my line. My Father was the local ratcatcher and as a boy I used to go everywhere with him, all the farmers called me "Young Ratty" hence my user name. ;D I became a car mechanic upon leaving school but latterly I find myself drifting into gardening and garden machinery repairs. If you 'do a Google' for Rob Covill...........all will be revealed. ;D

I like to think the older I get the wiser I become, but I'm not so sure.

Thanks Rob, welcome to the forum, we're glad to have you. Rat catcher huh? there's a job that takes nerves of steel & a steady hand. Do you have a lister or are you looking for one? Alas, i'm relegated to an indian "approximation" of a lister,  but maybe one day I can have the genuine article.

I'm still looking for a CS but to be honest if an "Oid" comes along at the right price I'll buy it.

I'm from Finland, we're living in a small town near Tampere. Don't have a Lister yet, but one East-German Junkers-type opposite-piston (gegenkolben) diesel engine fitted to a narrow gauge loco. I'll try and squeeze a picture of it into this computer some day..

Hi Bruce,

I bought a car on an internet auction that was in West Palm Beach.  Imagine my surprise when I found out West Palm Beach is in Florida and not California.  Shouldn't it be East Palm Beach? 

There are some neat listers floating around Florida that were resting while waiting for the next big storm.  Have you scored yet?  Do you have photos?

You smile, sit down and chat.  They are the friendliest, most open and honest people you've ever met!  ;D  I spent 2 summers exploring "the rock" and I've got to get the old '74 VW van up and running to do it some more. (It's a long way from here, took 8 long days driving last time!)
