RecyMech Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 BRILLIANT Andy !, sitting here having watched it twice with a HUGE grin:D:D She doth protest at being awakened though me thinks. Once she gets here throat cleared she'll be right. All I can so is MORE PLEASE...lovely. Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landyandy Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 next startup should be better as we have some data to play with on program now,and also she was running on only 12 plugs rather than the 24 she should run on as we didn,t have 2 mags going, glad you enjoyed it andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
