    Hey Div, glad to hear the Big Hud is coming back, I've just spent days having a "binge" of all your Hud build vids, such a technical smorgasbord, so compelling. And as for Wifey's Renobug, well 40 year ago we had a '69 Renault 10 sedan that was known as "Regina, "Regina Renault" had her for many years. Also owned, before that a '59 VW beetle sedan, I called "Wolfgang". I figure that the VW is the male and the Renault is "petite" little French girl, Regina Renault. Indeed they "eloped" and came to South Africa to be married, by none other than Pastor Div! Cheers mate.
