Be careful what you wish for mate :p.

You could be picking midges and ticks (and other creatures) out of places where previously you didn't know you had places.

Ooh, good to see they've changed the sole

Mine are almost as slippy as a pair of Salmon XA's

They're not so bad if you grip them by the tail :angelic:

Think they ultra's are a little heavier and the tongue is in permanently though.

Just got the new T zipped solid 3f ultralight inner, couldn't be better service, even got me to cancel the order so he could apply a discount and it arrived in a jaw dropping week. Noticeably smaller than their other inner, and other than the internal pocket no fat to cut out. 336g, so from my perspective 16g heavier than a Tramplite inner and about 200 cheaper. Will get a pic once I cut my lawn, grass is so high it won't pitch! Plumber with a leeky tap....

When i was a kid we were pretty poor. I used to write letters to all the fishing tackle companies saying how much i liked their kit and that if they had any branded stickers to put on my tackle box id be grateful. I got plenty of stickers but many would send rods, reels, bait and other kit. I had the best fishing tackle money could buy for mostly the price of a stamp :D

Must write me a Dear Ron and a Dear Joe letter :D

:rolleyes:I used to write to Porsche and Ferrari


Alas all I got was sales literature and keyrings but I certainly had plenty of Supercar pictures on my bedroom walls, it was plastered with them. I could recite all the speeds and outputs like a walking 'top trumps' of the utterly unattainable.









Well ok, maybe there was just one time they sent more than just literature


I am still ashamed I wore that outfit.... :oops:

Almost, I think it was a 328 gts, it would have been nearly new and I think the photo was taken in 88-89, I was 13-14

My uncle (pictured in the driving seat) had borrowed it from work for his wedding day.

I learnt to drive with him a few years later in a series of exotica. Alas it gave me rather 'champagne tastes' for what was soon to become a 'beer income'

His influence did lead me to buy myself an early 70s gold 4.5 V8 Mercedes s-class when I was 18 for £350. Followed a year or two later by a Audi 2.1 GT Coupe which cost £300 but at group 18 was a staggering £1800 p/a to insure.
