Thanks for looking at that, Mick, but I'm still a little confused because the index says that that thread is by Will. It looks like there's several posts missing at the beginning of that thread. So maybe when you lost those posts they just gave the credit for the thread to whoever had been the first to post behind you?

That's weird, Carl was the first to reply to me, threads usually go to the next poster, which would be Carl as he posted before Will, very strange ???

That's how I got caught up in that spammers thread, I was the first to reply, and ended up getting credit for the thread.

Edit; it does credit Carl with the thread, but Will as the last to post :thumbup:

You're right, it does credit Carl as the author. And that in itself is a little strange. Anyway, the reason I posted it here is because this is a car thread and I know some of the moderators don't like to have multiple threads of the same topic. It doesn't really matter to me, so you guys can do as you will and I'll still be happy. @) :haha: 8)

LOL, we can always merge posts into other topics. And I don't think Terry minds his thread changing to cars, although it could be moved to off topic to suit ;) :thumbup:

Given that I live in a mountainous region, with (even in my garden) some pretty rough terrain- I'm happy to sacrifice brown-pants inducing speed, for plenty of grip:
