Thanks Pims51 but we're really not wanting this to be a thread where everyone and anyone posts as it means checking behind everyone in what they are submitting. After a couple days goes by and if you think someone is missed, PM me and we'll check for accuracy, otherwise it's going to get messy.

Please read page #1 for more info about this thread, thanks
