techno Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Then you may as well let someone else do them! Quote
Stu Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 thats what im thinking its going to cost probably £25 ish more for someone else to do them which is fook all but on the other hand i like playing but they have all the right tools rather me having to fab some up bollox decision made they are going away Quote
