I know couriers often get a hard time on here but a huge shout out to DHL who this afternoon delivered a package that was picked up from a shop in Nagoya, Japan on Friday, bouncing across the planet briefly stopping in Hong Kong, Bahrain and East Midlands airport before landing in Glasgow in the wee sma' hours this morning then to my door at 1:30 today.

Yes, or a good replica. I love the simplicity of the design. Probably an utter pig to drive even in a straight line. But cool!

At least it's at a workable height now.
