did you see the american polititian who stood in front of the white house and claimed that "gloabal warming may actually be a good thing. it would certainly make parts of canada and northen europe more inhabitable." this was when they were questioned about not signing the kyoto agreement. the inbreeding has obviously gotten out of hand in the US. i never knew anybody could be so ignorant. you live and learn. ------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/user/silverbeastie/media/Milltek/Sig.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  2009 E92 M3 - Milltek |

Agreed. Let's contact "Hunter" in Dumfries and apply to become retail stockists. 
Same goes for hearing aids. Lots of young people today combined with obnoxiously-loud music. They'll be in premature need of the little deaf aids once they hit middle age.... -------------
