The name is Andries Olivier from The Dark Continent. I'm a cop, knifemaker, jack of all trades and enjoy building, fixing, restoring and modifying "stuff". I just picked up a Victa 8-26E series 7 (never seen anything like it before) from a friend and was looking for info and spares on the web when I stumbled on this site. I decided to join in the fun since there seems to be quite a few knowledgable people around. I've already started stripping it down for a complete rebuild and might even consider building it into a racer.

Anyhow, I will keep my questions for the appropriate forum topic.
Glad to be here.
