Thanks everyone for the wishes. I'll check with Whoosha about the flux capacitor as being 41 again would be enough!

I shall look forward to the cake.

Col - you might have been better leaving the original head and just changing the body - nice work with the chop.

Cheers
Russ

Great job Coll and a bit of fun. He liked it enough to leave it up so well done - this would be a first! Getting soft in his aging years!

It was fun. Think you should change your name to Agent 99 Gaela. You did a great job keeping him busy.

Good to see he is leaving it up....for the time being anyway

Happy birthday Russell, thank you for making AFF what it is...

I'm no Ford supporter (Steve aka. GT69 is working on that for you though!), but I get what I need here - people who understand me!

Hope you had a great day and enjoyed yourself.
