 Hi Gav,
Thanks mate. 
It's frustrating when you miss out and see someone else buying something nice.
I've literally been reaching for something and someone has picked it up first!!! 
 
I was suprised he didn't resell it instantly, lucky he's just a 
locally based dealer I guess!
Do you really it's think Walrus?
Here's some better pics:
