You just need to wait a bit and other forum members will be designing custom avatars for you! ( Hug TT Heart)

Your Osprey might be from 1989 which, for personal history, makes it a museum artifact, but my Contender dates from 1969, 2 years after MY birth!

I'm "revising" ergo plenty of time for custom avatars etc to fill the boredom gaps :)
