tis nice when that happens - was having a root round the back of me other garage today and found a new spanking 200 crank which i never knew i had, which is exactly what i need to fix a 60k 200 i won the other month for 99p

ere, i've found a S1 that's just been pulled out of a blokes barn near Eccleshall, i've been stalking the place for a few days but can never find anyone in the house - wonder if they'd notice that it'd gone if i just tow it away
