Udimore Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 :o Holly smoke I'm a real roadless freak and I love those babies * Great work Mike and if you wanna sell them pm me Quote
Simon Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 After you've been here a while longer Mike you'll see just how crackpot some of the members here really are..... many have no idea of the value of money Stick them on the classifieds and you will likely be very pleasantly surprised, particularly now big bad barry has taken a shine to them to cosy up with his Udimore Jewelltracs I saw him carrying an impulse buy of an eyewatering tray of scratch built Counties around at Spalding.... They look fantastic by the way... great work Quote
