So this is the new steed. Looks ideal mate. Can't be robbed at that price!

Can I just come back on here after months on the run? :lol:

I need to update me WIP, but I reshelled my phone (lol) and now the camera doesn't work, so I have been hunting out my crappy digi cam.

I fail at V300 life. :lol:

When are we lowering this one then? I have some ready chopped springs if you want em. I know you don't like to roll like that, but they're fine. Hoy some of that gear oil in the fronts (see, told you it would come in handy) and you're laughin!

Arrrgg Spoke to soon. And mis-calculated my financial fitness grossly.

I have found (by having it screamed in my ear from a hysterical crying girlfriend) that I cant afford this, so Im having to pass.

If anyone else fancies this, I can put you in direct contact with the seller.

Was this your hysterical crying girlfriend, or just a hysterical crying girlfriend? If the later then ignore :lol:

Generally I find they all just end up crying/screaming/hysterical whatever you do at some point anyway so you might as well carry on :evil:

Ah well, we've all been there. I constantly get the little nagging voice in my right ear saying "You're NOT buying THAT!"

There will be others when you're in a healthier financial state. Financial security and a roof over your head must come first - After all, you can't have a bunny if you haven't got a hutch :)
