Thanks Simon, thanks Asad. Nice of you to stop by!

I was a bit annoyed with all the jaggies on these. Don't normally have such a problem. Must be the livery - the yellow stripe!

I noticed that it wasn't up to your usual excellence. It looked like something from my computer, but hey I thought they were still great none the less. Thanks.
