That thread was one of the strongest influences in my deciding NOT to buy a modern van in fact. Rogues Gallery, I think it was called.

Jim if you pop into you profile section you can add a few titbits to allow members to be 'better informed'....
I like the ability to add a Signature so every time you post it auito adds it to the bottom of your posts.
I've guessing the Franklin may be your Avatar as well?
I love the dedication your showing on the rebuild.
Just as a small matter of interest ..... I used to tow/deliver new Franklins from the factory to Adelaide & Port Augusta. The Port Augusta ones in them days went by rail to Darwin & Perth.

Yes, I agree. That would be helpful Bruce, but I don't seem to have the option.
In the 'Edit Profile" section I see Interests, Occupation and DOB.
I just looked at your profile and can see your location.
I don't seem to have that option.

As that famous lady used to say..."Please explain?"

Jim

EDIT.....Ah Hah. Never mind. Found it! Buried down in the website, ICQ etc.
All good!

So would I :lol: The Deloraine is in for a service so I can't zip ahead a few days to get a photo so I'll know how well it worked, so we'll just have to wait ;)
