gritineye Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Yes please GPS, could you post them all in the Explorer gallery, so they go in the index when I get round to updating it. I'm sure there is a Quo Vardis still around somewhere, but it may be a pioneer, anyone know? Second Explorer has Quo Vardis on the cab, not very clear in this copy, maybe a popular name at the time, this pic is Korea.
