Thinking of a number plate next.

Thanks for those that voted for this and helping it get 2nd in May's BOTM, much appreciated.

I'm hoping that the main man Del can sort a decal out for a plate I have. It's a Mirage that Rich gave me, but the decal is red/green, I've asked Del for yellow/black.

I've hit a snag with this, even if Del can make the decal, the Velcro straps on mine are red, and that just ain't going to look right. :(
