I would rather drive around in the 20yo patrol I do now and have a nice boat then a brand new ford ranger and a little tinny.

Wanted a Eotech 557 (when I was shooting a semi lots0 purely for the "W Factor"

Brought a rifle in from the US along with an Eotech 557 (the then latest model)

Dropped it the sight off a high shelf in the shed and its fucked, never even fired a shot with it.
Turns out I cant sent it back cause exporter just bolted it to the rifle rather than do the paperwork so I now have an expensive paperweight.
would have been better to just burn the $800 USD it cost.

I know I will draw the short straw on helping clean out my uncles sheds (x3) when he passes way, and I'm not looking forward to it. Like many people he has stored things away that were going up in value and have completely missed the tipping point where they just become junk.

I'm hoping he still has 5-10yrs left in him thanks.
We are just tidying up his will etc at the moment as he doesn't like either of his daughter in laws, his wife is silly enough to give a lot of the stuff away, and I made the mistake of going in the back shed . . . :D

changing the flag

Shit you might have to do mine! I'll book you now and let my family know! No pinching the good ones!

Oh man, got any pics?

Bought a Cosworth for 40k owned it for 7 yrs and sold it for 30k that was cheap fast motoring

That's good going, I have a mate who's spent 80k+ on his cossie sapphire after he bought it and it's prob worth 8k more as a result. Those things GOBBLE cash

Looked after it like a baby, was a 92 last year of production 4x4 green head motor.
