See, I seriously don't 'need' something like that but when I see them come up I always think how useful it'd be living over here - just need to find a competition over here and for one that I can get a decent sized bike in the back of!!! (And then do my Permis C to drive it I guess!! :lol: )

Bloody brilliant! Even better that you like Macs !! (Weird people do enter comps and don't like them! LOL).

I have to update mine at some point - got a MacBook Pro that is 9 years old!!! Still functions even though I don't do the housekeeping on it that I should - and it's only seen the local Apple guy to clean it up once in all that time!! :lol: They ROCK!! :lol: :lol: Haven't found a comp site over here though so I'll just keep dreaming!! :lol: :lol:
