And now im Green with Envy :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: But what can I say,....why Did I sell Hipster... well, I was doing him an injustice, keeping him locked up in the Concrete jungle...So now he is free and running wild in Africa with the Trekking Pole... Glad that...

The stealers want R2500...
