Matt, i'll have a rethink about it but i'm pretty sure i'll come up with the same conclusion bud.

hi all i just got a message that BAS of bolton have some huge clowns in at a very reasonable price .
so if your in or around the north of England it might be worth a looksee. i was told they would be around the £45 mark.
