Asleep at the switch, why I put CD instead of HD, I don't know. Must have been the age factor. :roll: Thanks for pointing out my error, I previewed before submitting, and still missed it. :problem: Houston :!:

Can not upload any more pictures as I get the following message when trying to do so.

Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

Do you want to edit some of the posts and trim it down, HT? I've posted a lot of pictures anddo not mind if you want to trim some what you may figure is of the non-essential variety. Sorry for going overboard. :oops:

Well now, this is because you have used your 2GB storage limit most likely because you are not resizing the images before uploading them. :problem: , no fear, I have increased your personal limit to 5GB to give you some space to work. We cant have the creator of the best thread on the site running out of space, can we. :good:

The two on the right have plain logo, the two on the right have red, green and blue dots on the logo. Indicating colour?????


I have not tried these out as they were really dirty. With vents on top, I can only imagine the dirt inside that passed through the vents. will need thorough cleaning inside. :problem:
