Arizona Mike makes me smile
« on: February 07, 2012, 03:54:33 pm »
I'm bored out of my fu#king tree stuck here in a wheelchair with a piss bag on my dicky, unable to get out to my beloved shed. Just when  I'm about to chuck in the towel and succumb to the lure of mid day television one last quick perusal of eBay has brought me my little ray of daily sunshine....Arizona Mike. Now, I know we've discussed the pro's and con's of this esteemed trader before but I think it's worth repeating his fabulous "works" ex Russ Darnell Husky rear 'guard for those who may have missed it first time around. Damn it comrades...I can't believe Terry Good or Rick Cotton haven't flown directly to Arizona to personally accompany it back to their collections to minimise the chance of it being harmed in the mail. Luckily, it's still available to some lucky VMX memorabilia collector. I hope it's still available when my financial windfall cheque arrives from Nigeria.

   This would have to be the ugliest, most bogus part to ever claim ''works" status on eBay.
