It's now official I have a carrier platoon.
Wife's away visiting her mum, so what do you do when she's away?, yes thats right spend two weeks in Las Vegas and when you get back spend the proceeds on another carrier, she dont now about either at the moment so dont tell her otherwise I'm 'dead'.
It's another Mk1 with standard stowage arrangement, 95% complete and uncut, just gotta collect it. I was suprised when i saw it, thought the bottom might of been rusted out but all looks solid with lots of carrier jewelry inside, got it for a reasonable price to. It's funny I bought the last two carriers when she was on holiday to.  Kevin.
