if you'd lived a bit closer I'd have given you £200 for it and stripped it down for parts

I love mine too, I suppose what you have never had you dont miss.

If using a portable is hard, you obviously never really had a hard Job before Carpet Cleaning ;D ;D

Try working for a racing team, many a time spent 72hrs without getting any sleep and doing engine and bodywork changes all for some spoilt little brat wanting to drive an F1 car. Now thats hard.

Carpet cleaning is easy compared to doing that even with a portable.

Gentlemen;

                                 I ALSO HATE PORTABLES TOO!!!!!!!!

In fact,.........Anything with 4 wheels attached.

 I HATE shopping carts; never push straight! And, my good friend, Steve Gunn--whom I hope will share a hand shake and a brew sometime soon btw--IS CORRECT: takes too much effort and that is why I have my wife push it instead!

We won't get into Roller Skates or Wagons; that's for another time!

Good Fortune & I just had to pull your chain, Steve!
Thanks for being a great sport which you have always been;

your order is being built today/tonight depending on your time zone, with galvanised mufflers as well, just checking how much more it is to fly it in, as we can't have you getting healthy.
