Hiya
thats te fella, and the garage is not that small, its only the driveway/entrance that is small, think "The Tardis" :-) As for cheapest, well if Nic was slightly more than someone else i would still use him cause i trust him. Cheapest and most reliable dont always go hand-in-hand Cheers Scott |
