Advice needed for sale of S1

:( The last posts i placed were with regards to putting the S1 into deep sleep as work has taken me away. It has become apparent that this will be much longer than anticipated and the S1 should move on to a good (and more used :oops: ) home. I have one year to pay on it and I wonder what folk think;...

Re: Some Pics

Agreed - it was a huge, menacing beast of a thing. I just stuck my Nokia under the tape and shot it to get that view - imagine it in the mirror :shock: it was running and drove out and away through the trees - the sound was like thunder. All of hell was within it and trying to get out :twisted: Stun...
