no harm in trying, you gotta start somewhere!, and if it turns out wrong you can always use it as an old tank :-\

can we pre-order for Toytrac?

Give him a ring Kev, he is a true gent and will be happy to help you. No doubt he has a few orders to fullfill but it is worth a call as he is only round the corner form you at Thame. I will PM you his number mate.
