Re: What do you all do?
Thanks, Tescos alright though isnt it. I am guessing you used your plumbing skills doing your fuel pipes on the Cavalier Greig?, I wouldnt minded doing something like bodywork repairs if i was learning a trade at college that or mechanics.Cavalier342 wrote:Dude that is one awesome picI totally love heavy freight locomotives
