I've even cut down on the fairs as there is so little new stuff coming onto the market.
I recommend going to see Tim for a cup of tea (or a beer or six). So many fantastic models and good company.

Cheers,

Would have been about 8 years ago Timbo. Don't worry, I got addicted to drinking tea when I lived over there, so could easily go 6 cups of tea next time!
