<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 5325455, member: 100731&quot;]Thanks all for the kind replies! I never get so much attention for a sceatta-themed post ... should post a few ancients with them next time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=110504]@+VGO.DVCKS[/USER], I really liked this cleaning job.

Just buy the real thing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The real answer is: we&#039;ll probably never know.
