Firstly a very BIG Thank you goes to
Whipsey for recovering my Cab and getting it stored
away safe and dry.

Secondly, a very big word of warning about a fellow
member on here RWDONLY aka Steve Clare.
This person abandoned my Cab to the elements after doing a bunk
from the rented work unit he was using.

I will expand on this subject in far more detail later
with Photographic evidence of the state my Cab was
left in.
Ollie Bwoii, feel free to comment mate.

Not exactly built up his rep on here has he? I doubt he'll show his face around here any time soon.

Good luck with finding him. How bad is the car?
