Funny, usually at this point people call dibs on parts. That cash flow would make it easier to buy the other one.

You have to find a replacement quickly then strip the old one and get that wreck out of there, keep the "olds" on side.

How far would you travel to pick up a car, what year and model would you prefer.

Kiwis...sigh.....Greg Murphy, Blwfly, whos next....lol

I found European beer, Grolsch rocks, the US beer is like water, I scare people here and I'm a lightweight back home.

Steinlager is a great beer, what they sell as Fosters here is lame, hell the real Fosters is lame....lol

I'd kill for a VB....sigh

If you dont tell anyone, I wont either.....
