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!
