Title: Probably POS...but.. WHAT IF :-)
Post by: ED209 on January 16, 2011, 08:06 PM: Called in to see my uncle on the way to Corby last night - we was asking me what I was up to and I explained about the forum and the night etc... after he took the pi$$ for a bit ( his forte ;D ) he said he had a bmx someone up in one of his barns.

'Oh yeah?' says I ???

"its a chrome one...bit rusty... its got long axles to stand on ofr something... seat doesn't look very comfortable"

'had it long?' ??? ??? say I

'oh its been in there years' said he 'came from some garage clear out"

I had to get going so he said he'd pull it out and take a pic or I could just come and get it.... so off to Corby I went.

--------------

Just gave him a bell to see if he got it out ... he couldn't reach it as there was loads of stuff on it...

"did you see any stickers?" I said...

Its a 'Pharohe' he said... a WHAT... 'A Pharohe' or a Farro or something... a short word...

"A HARO" says I >:D

"Could be looks like and F though but its definitiey a word like Faro..."

...so what are the chances Eh ... waiting for a pic... as I said... probably POS but... WHAT IF ^"^
