AJGr33n Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 G'day Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has heard anymore. I have searched the internet but can not find anything. I have meet a number of the Norwegian Herc guys (mainly the maintainers) and am really hoping for a miracle. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
