gazoeller 145 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nigel (sideout), now that we demonstrated we also can do brisk tours around the globe, we can relax at our next tour and do it rather in 80 weeks than 80 days. See you at the bar. Gernot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
