Thanks Erik - It's always better to check. You'll be finishing just as I leave home to get to AD in time! Shame we will not see you. If anything changes, please let us know. As the drive is not full we can accommodate you even at short notice. (050 425 4574) 29 minutes ago, Josh T. said: @Wrangeld I’m scheduled for a fewbie drive on Saturday.
