Welcome to the forum!

Don't be afraid to post where you're from, we ain't gonna hunt you down or anything. We just like to know who our locals are.

Good luck with your build, and don't forget the pics (they're kinda like food, we all live off of 'em)

(a strange lot we be)

One descendant of the Piccolo is the Sleeper trailer built in Britain:
