hey mate, it was my thread.
out of interest of the club it was taken down so not to implicate anyone as there were too many references to the workshop's possible name. the workshop and/or its representative contacted Christian (PranK) to make sure it was all in order - its much easier to take it down than to have to worry about what is said in the thread, it was getting a little off topic anyway.
it doesn't bother me, i will just start another thread with progress of my claim - anyone wanting further details can email me on joe.rulz at hotmail.com to keep it away from the forums.
