Re: PhotoBucket Jan 2017

I have had some problems lately, mostly it is just very slow, you need to wait long periods while it loads itself, probably to many adverts all the time.. regards ricky

Re: the "mad maestro"

was out meeting some fellow car friends a couple of weeks ago, someone approached me about the car and implied that they might know someone (as they do).. but admiring the car as well, while taking some photo's and video's it cut out.... and would not restart.. turns out the cambelt jumped a few tee...
