Hi Freddy,

I'm very excited and have sent your and Christian a few questions via email. I have been studying manual and parts most of the morning and came up with some questions.

Cheers,
Barry

Wow...

... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Lovely tank. Great engineering.

Just a shame you don't put better electrics inside something that desperately needs it :)
