Hi guys,

Yes, last thursday was "D-day" for me. Dirk and Stefan made their way through traffic and we finished the last part of the deal. I am a happy man!
Thanks Dirk and Stefan.

@ Rolf. Good to hear from you. Yes, in a dumpster. I haven't heard from our new neighbours yet, but they probably think we're nuts. Thanks for the compliments on the scale models. This year will hopfully see the release of a series of CMP models and you can probably guess which type will be among them....

@ Hanno. We will be moving house in two weeks. You are definately welcome for a beer when the sun finally warms our small country.

Alex

p.s. No, that's not my work on the garage door!

@ David. Due to work on our house I haven't been able to spend much time on the C8 yet, apart from emptying two cans of WD40. I did have a look at the strap for you. It's not full rubber at all, but Canvas. The canvas might have been coated with rubber once, but at first glance no remains can be seen.

I knew the FFW versions had extra earth-straps, but I am surprised to which extend this has been done. They are everywhere! Bumper, left+right fenders, rifle holders, fuel tanks, both sides of the box.....

Alex
