Post by: pickle on October 09, 2006, 02:40 PM: 19! :shocked: my Mrs would divorce me i reckon....fair play to ya mate......if i had the money and the space i think i'd be up to that myself ;)

So do you know anything about the MCS?
Title: Re: 22 Years Later !!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Gashead on October 09, 2006, 02:59 PM: My Mrs is going mad ! I had up to the end of September to move the lot of them mate but I still have 9 in the lounge ! the rest in the loft !
She is quite welcome to visit her mother if she likes ! Its my house :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:To be fair she is very understanding ! Im trying to convert the old dear's loft so they can all go up there !

At the end of the day I work hard and its better than seeing your money go up in SMOKE like it used to eh !

Not to sure about the MCS mate but looks like a cool buy - guess you want some parts for it now !!!!!!

The Kuwi will be seen in all it's glory next Sunday I hope !!!
