@@AndrewBeavers It was weird , i couldn't get hold of them for 3 days and the website wouldn't load up on my lap top or mobile BUT i actually bought one on eBay unused but still in the states and it cost 316 quid so i am happy with that. Just after i bought it i got emails off that Ron and the website works fine now but at least i get a tent quicker...Down side its Orange :) Thanks for the reply Andy.
