I concur with AU details. Minor issues? Yeah, but the eye appeal isn't bad, and I'd say it was a good pickup for thirty bucks.
Quick! Grab it while you can! :p
@RonSanderson - you’re WAY behind! ;) Go ahead and catch up (that’s fine), but to avoid confusion, let me remind everyone: the type for today is...
Many, many years later, I did indeed!
I wouldn’t have had the faintest notion who Post Malone was. In fact, until I clicked that link, I would have assumed “Post Malone” referred to a...
