If anyone had been interested in the car, all that they needed to do was to drop 'DD' a PM. I also was prepared to assist anyone genuinely requiring more information. Or they could have bought their own copy of CCW and looked for themselves.

I too am pleased that the car has found a new home with 'pete940'.

If it's any help John, i can see both sides of the argument. As the forum is internet-based, i think it's entirely reasonable that some form of link be posted, however with CCW that isn't possible, hence my suggestion about photographing the ad and posting the pic.

Thanks to DippyDog posting the original information, Pete940 now has a new chariot to lavish TLC on so as you say, the system still worked.

It's just a very circuitous route to achieve what could have been done with a simple link - the fault here is with CCW being a paper publication rather than digital IMHO rather than anyones personal opinions so there's no point bouncing the ideas back and forth unless we can achieve a positive result.
To that end, we're shang-hai'd from the start with CCW but through it all we still got at least one positive result even if it took a lot more effort than it should have done, given todays technology!

Fair comment, 'L.S.', but I still feel that 'bob12' might have couched his comments more moderately.

Regards, J.
