Please tell me we get three votes as this is really gonna be impossible otherwise. I hated brightly coloured stuff bitd but the Performer is mental and looks amazing. Fresh out the box Leary.... omfg who wouldn't want to own that. Clean's lean and mean Kwacky is a beaut. The '79 Ripper and the Quad are stunning..... how will I choose

Like fook is it dead in here.......
