Amazon 7 #3 January 25, 2009 Thanks... That is not all that bad considering. It would at least give me the means to get about. I have been looking at some of the cars on EBAY, and I do like what I am seeing.. I think I will stick withmy plans to get a beener... but I saw even MG has some cool looking cars.. and MG is using diesel engines too. Hey I know.. no bang sticks.. BUT.. I thought there were shooting clubs you can join that would still allow you to smell some powder burning... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Often see them out - even in the middle of winter!)Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
