In reply to two of the posts earlier on in this thread about the "romanticising of Pacers", personally I think its down to their uniqueness and their character. The best example I can think of is - if a woman wants a man with character, then she should opt for a man that is a human version of a Pacer.
Anyway, lets get back on topic with the lastest updates, including the units that are earmarked for preservation.
