I would love a propane space heater, as my diesel one is so unreliable. Wink

I've been promising myself a new laptop since before August, but every time I think I've identified the right model & package that'll suit me something else appears! Confused

Finally I was definitely all set to buy my laptop after waiting for Windows 7 to be launched, only then to have whispered in my ear by one of the museum techs "its better to wait until the first patch has been applied, that way I'd get a debugged system". So now I'm waiting for the first patch to be launched, which more than likely will appear just in time for me to wait a bit longer until the January sales start - and on, and on, and on, and o .............................Arrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Santa is bringing me a Carcoon for the new toy. I've heard only good reports of them so I'll let you all know next spring.

A guy I know of kept his RS200 in a carcoon, it always look pretty good, and he seemed to like it!

Cheers

I sold a load of chucks last year, were cheap too, about a tenner.

What type of chuck/size do you need?

Cheers

Yep, good choice. I can recomend the Carcoon 100%. I owned a 1969 Austin Healey Sprite for 9 years a few years back, and I bough a Carcoon when they first come out............ "Sits thinking" £300 at the time, I'm sure. Well worth every penny though.
