I have a couple of wheeler dealers box sets (they were £1 each in computer exchange), so Nat Geo will be missing a trick if they don't produce them.

It's the Rover P6 this week...er....whatever that is.
I'll have another go at posting some pics of my vehicles when I get chance.
The GPW is on hold again as I have had to refit the lower rear panels on a 'Birmingham Standard' Daimler bus and repaint them ready for the open day at Aston Manor Transport Museum on Sunday. The bus is parked to next to the jeep in the workshop so it's not a big problem, just time. Yes that's right, a bus. It is a Metro Cammell body so I don't mind working on it.

Yeah, the "official" app lacks the functionality of the alternatives that are available from other Android repositories, of the "unofficial" variety.

Google "APK freeware" then search from the indices of the various repositories. Better yet, join an Android forum and get to know the coders who are willing to trade their apps for others. It's always a gamble and you'll be spitting feathers if the app you trade turns out to be a best seller in the hands of another dev, but worth it once you get a feel for what sort of things to sacrifice.

More like discovering - on running short of chalk half way through a session - that the chalk is no longer supplied and that the new chalk, let's call that chalk 1.01, isn't compatible with your slate, but that slate 1.01 has just been released and is in testing, due to be released in stable form at some time soon, but nobody knows when.

Did you like the Rover P6B? The ultimate rust bucket! The self adhesive patches were something else. It's a good job the engine was only on 4 cylinders if it had been on 8 and in good fettle it would have twisted the front off. As Fuzz said it was an absolute death trap. What a shame you can't track down the morons who do these things and name and shame them.
It was super straight and as sound as the day it was built when it was handed back.
