Mick,

i understand your position and I would imagine you could get a couple of fella's but seriously, who wants to live in Wanga!

Freezing in Winter and stinky hot in Summer, plus the beer is a bit funny on that side of the border!

I do have a couple of suggestions but if you want to send me a pm we could talk more off line.

cheers

Digger

On the other side of the border they drink that XXXX beer cos they can't spell beer.
And they make it by squeezing cats,a Mexican told me,
Na Just kidding.
Na it gets freezing cold here and stinking hot we don't do things by halves.
The Kawasaki is looking good i will have to get you some picks.
Or even better i can wait a couple of weeks and John can post a couple of hundred photos.

Hi JDK and I took several hundred snaps a few weeks ago but my webshots account is full- the select pics are in the Next edition of a prominant UK publication for which I write the odd article as part of an update story.

The problem with this forum is that I have to have the pics somewhere so I can post them here - Bugger !!

If someone has space on photo bucket or Webshots let me know and I will send them some pics and then put them up here - I don't want to pay for another account >

I can Say that the first Ki61 looks great and is quite advanced - more so than I expected with over half of the Fuselage done and the wing now being in a Jig - Going well.

Mick I put a plea for sheeties in the article so now you will get phone calls from all over the world !!!

Regards
John P

I think you should have read your email..................I emailed you 10 months ago.

They are now in Washington State and have been for some months

After my little brush with the owner things seem to have settled down

Regards

John P
