So what exactly is it? i mean, is it a place where you repair goodens and sell them on, strip the dogs and sell on the parts etc, or is it just a place of storage for all your goodies to display and go "ner ner ner ner ner" at us lot without the goodies? :P :P

I visited the HQ yesterday to pick up some stuff that wouldn't fit in my car at the BKV.
It was a jaw dropping experience for me, almost like being a kid in the candy store.

My compliments Aymat for building such a great experience for the 300 enthusiast.
