Or were you confused by stating the Fact, now there are No Seagoing Ferries connecting the British Isles with Scandinavia?

It was the whole shebang that had me scratching my head.

1991 in Newcastle the lads at Joe Waugh knocked out a Quick Custom front Rack for me in 48 hours .

then I took a Ferry to Norway, thats Gone Now Too..

Lots of famous names still around, Condor, Claud Butler, but these shops don't build on the premises. But a lot of young guys starting up in sheds and garages. A bit out of my price range now though (grad school).
