What I don't understand is why would you ship them all that way knowing that they will only rot away in a few years because of all that bad weather you get over there

Ohh... Is that a 500 splitter I see in the back?!?!

Haha! How awesome it would be to see two Cossies on the back of a flat bed around here? I can just imagine what the Commodore drivers would be thinking... not much! Ha!

Keep the updates coming Aaron
