Hi Paul. Thanks very much mate. Was funny as the tester called over a few others to pop down the pit and have a peek underneath :lol:

Currently sat in a local garage for the GL to go through its MOT, they have this poster up!

Never been here before but it's the closest garage to work and needs must, but with fine art like this up I might become a regular haha
