Yeah....except for the additional coin.
Car I was looking at had $13K worth of TCP gear fitted to it (with receipts) already.
Happy to have it if it's already on there.

Food for thought though....

Having said that, I've been unemployed for over 2 years after the mining boon collapsed, hence why I recently took on this part time work as a driver delivering props.

Unfortunately death metal is not my kind of fix - mostly blues/rock is my go, when I was younger I was into Jim Steinman etc.

That's as hard as I got.

For every person there's a different taste in music :badabing:

I liked Bad for Good, a shame he didn't have the same success under his own name. For those that don't know he wrote for Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, etc. I don't mind that 80's over-produced schmaltzy sound, lol, I grew up on it.

Although we play Death Doom we still incorporate strong melodies through the female vox, violin & guitar parts.

I knew the Meatloaf connection - born in '65 so I was mostly into the Oz rock back then...

Let me guess, you bought a 65 for that very reason? It's why I originally wanted a 66, settled for a 65 and I actually do prefer the honeycomb grille.

Still got his album somewhere!! His music was all around, and a different style to most. Bat out of hell still one of my fav albums. All songs had a story to them

Must be one of the best hijack threads I have seen on here in a long time. You don't see multiple hijacks every day. Well done boys, keep it up.
