    I took the photo of the car. It was sold via a dealership that allowed viewing at any time, gave them a call and they were very honest about it.

    On collection it was up on a ramp with all the wheels off, i gasped to then be told one of the tires was bald and there replacing it for free, and they thought best to give it a good look over before letting me drive off.

    Top guys, really top guys!

    I have lust for a viggen but being a 93 the later engines just full of problems with the oil feed and breather just walk away and buy a 9000 Aero

    Thanks, I hope it's as good as it looks, and that I don't get bummed by import duties.

    You use a rest room? Here in Greece we just find the nearest tree :p Seeing someone in the bushes on the side of a road taking a piss is not an uncommon sight here in Greece :)

    THAT is a very VERY nice buy. Have you noticed the lens? It's a rokkor - I have one converted for my A100, mine is a 58mm, that looks like a 55mm, but what I can say, is that lens should have some INSANE bokeh on it. Bloody nice buy!

    Yeah I'm really looking forward to taking it for a spin. However I have NO IDEA how to shoot film.

    I think I'm going to go through tons of the stuff working out the metering I need to use. Any links for somewhere to work it out? I was considering just testing shots on my DSLR and then comparing them.

    Last week I bought a new rear wheel for my bike, comprising of a DT Swiss EX500 rear rim plus a Superstar Components Switch EVO rear hub.


    Yesterday I ordered A Superstar Components Lay back seat post in black and lime green seat post clamp, and a Shimano M981 XTR Front Derailleur just waiting for them to arrive now.

    they sure are, i just "discovered" Boards Of Canada :D

    i'm pretty sure you'll like Wisp - The Shimmering Hour. (there's 2 more albums from Wisp, NRTHNDR [i'd have bought it but £19 is bit much for one album] and "honor beats" [bit weird imho])

    i've not heard the John Digweed & Guy J CDs yet so i can't really say. (i never buy music without downloading it first, its safe to say i expect them to deliver :D)
