Woooo hoooo! Congrats!

Some small part of me will be sad that I didn't get that pre-owned Explorer II the other day, but I am super glad that you're getting one!

Well I've slowly sold about 8 over the last couple of months so I was in a comfortable position to strike when the opportunity arose. However, there are still a couple I'm vacillating on.

Let's see what the Explorer looks like first :D

Cheers Graham :thumbup:

It'll hopefully be here tomorrow or Wednesday and I'll know whether I've made the most expensive mistake of my life :?

Still, it has a 14-day returns on it so I can take my time and decide. I'm very nervous though.

A most acceptable choice!

In 20 yrs, I have a feeling that this will still be ticking away in your ownership whereas the other two would have long since departed.

An inspired decision that deserves hearty congratulations.
