Ah that's a long time ago, can remember them on the 810/811 aswell. Believe they all had the same allocation pretty much. Can't remember Classic having though, I was always waiting for the 10 and the 343, 10 and 337 all came pretty much at the same time and the destination display light was always broken on the VxxxDNL Darts and Vario's so it was just guessing half the time.
Weirdly I miss the Vario's and Metrorider's and don't know why, they were crap but had character unlike the dull Solo's. Must've been around 2006/7 when the remaining ones were withdrawn when the W1 and W2 were upgraded to Darts and the 10/11/12/343/344 got the Vario's whether they were an upgrade is a debate.
Some people would have a field day on here back then, moaning about USB Chargers.
