Just realised I missed all this... good choice Ali thumbup I'd like to get one as a toy myself but they are still too expensive here (one like yours would be $12-15K)
Take me for a ride?wink

Ali and I agreed to swap a machine polish for a few beers! This is the result. First shot is a 50:50 which shows what the paint looked like before and after a polish. The second shot is the finished article. It looks fantastic! smile

Would that be you by any chance? biggrin

You can get a buzzer for about a fiver from a car accessory shop and wire it in to stop it happening again in future.

When I say you, I mean someone who knows how elecktrickery actually works!wink
