Thanks Brian, Your remark about Facebook reminds me of the jokes about being engaged as opposed to married: "You don't have to go into the shop - you can just look in the window", or "You don't have to ride the bicycle, but you can still ring the bell"! Once RetroPart picks up momentum I'll launch a webpage, and probably also sell on eBay - where you can really risk you neck.

Brian, I just tested it now without even logging in to Facebook. You can see all the 'bits and bobs', but you cannot 'connect' without being a Facebook member.

www.facebook.com/RetroPartWe have added some more parts to our Items for Sale - 3 times now! Mysteriously these seem to disappear and reappear at random! We also added 50 pictures of rare machinery seen yesterday at Angela's Picnic, among them a few Lancias, and even a Chrysler.

I've changed the spelling of 'chrysler' to begin with a capital C in my post above 3 times, but it continues to revert to a lowercase letter. Now I'm wondering if Chrysler is a banned word on the Forum? See, it reverts to chrysler - let's try Khrysler.

Should be ok now ... Chrysler chrysler ChRySlEr Ch**sl** C****** It's a great idea though, I saw one of the 3D laser scanning / carving (printing?) things at a model show last year and thought how good it would be for re-making broken bits ....
