Maybe he hasn't got his notifications set up to give instant email notification to threads he starts and/or is subscribed to?
Oh wow, I've missed loads, thought the thread went quiet at the end of April. Only now I've received a notification in my email saying that there's one new reply. Hasn't updated me in the last few days, even when I've set the thread subscription as "instant email."

Good fortune.

I think the logical decition would be to go with a newer version but with all respect, they're not the lookers. There's only so many rectangles I can handle, need a few circles as well

Been looking at places like Scandinavia and Finland, even Spain and Italy where there were what looked like completely rust free 240's being sold.
