	For those of you that were at The Retro Show at santa pod I am sure you saw this in various states but this was taken on one of the 1st runs before it went on a serious diet lol (more pics soon) Rusty (can someone pm me to tell me how to add images or am I missing something simple??)

Copy and paste bunny into your (")_(") signature to help him gain world domination. When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car. My mate said i was a Caravan Utilising Nomadic Tourist - not sure what he means - any ideas?
