Sometime in May 1984  was a very sad day when I had to sell my first BMX for £15 !!!!!!!  :idiot2: :idiot2:

My Mrs is going mad ! I had up to the end of September to move the lot of them mate but I still have 9 in the lounge ! the rest in the loft !
She is quite welcome to visit her mother if she likes ! Its my house  :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:To be fair she is very understanding ! Im trying to convert the old dear's loft so they can all go up there !

At the end of the day I work hard and its better than seeing your money go up in SMOKE like it used to  eh !

Not to sure about the MCS mate but looks like a cool buy - guess you want some parts for it now !!!!!!

The Kuwi will be seen in all it's glory next Sunday I hope !!!



daz bmx it!

Next sunday?  why whats happening then?  or is that just when you'll get it built up?

Nice coment about it being "your house"  :)  just hope the Mrs isn't logged on and watching mate??   ;)

Yeah i got the frame for £19 but when the auction ended i got a cancelation notice!  >:(  my ebay tells me i've won it though, i've emailed them and asked for clarification....i have stated that as far as i'm concerened i have won the auction fairly so i expect to get the item i've won.  fingers crossed!  ???
