Come on EB, u can find a better photo of Captain Kathryn Janeway for me . lol
I have a few that would surprise you. and no, i didnt mean like that. Its from the first season, and she is also quite cute.lol

But, yes, my favourite number is 7.       and 9. lol

Beaky reckons he can throw a jamma board or some damn thing inside the machine when it comes and i can also play
"House of the Dead-Zombie killers" and many other shoot em up arcade games.

7 of 9 one minute, then killing zombies the next. yep. that will be cool.  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^

Christ I thought my driving cab was chunky!

That thing is a monster! Could be a "Mitsubitshi Fuso Supertruck" simulator!

Nice one!

Bowdie, shipping total cost is 1 x thousand,total. seafreight with everything covered.its 300 kgs but it all compacts into half the size, sort of.
Airfreight is expensive but sometimes u can get standby rates and get it thrown on a plane in the last minute. I have a brother who worked for many years in international freight forwarding.

Finally got a phonecall today from the freight forwarder in the USA about my new toy. I was getting a little concerned with no info over the xmas period.

I got to say a big thankyou to our fellow forum member (johnwartjnr) who lives in the USA.
I sent John an email asking if he could help out with contact in case i got stuck, and he didnt hesitate in offering to help in any way he could.
I gotta say, its times like this that you realise just how great it is to be part of a forum ( i will call it a club in hyperspace) with members all over the world.
In the end, i didnt need John to take hostages, and it worked out, but it was re-assuring to know i had help on the other side of the world.  ^^^

When i heard the long drawn out beautiful accent of the American lady today calling from California, it was music to my ear (and my pocket). lol

Long live freight forwarders who help send us collectors our new toys.  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^

Relax Brett - they probably fired it up for you, just to check the condition as marked on the customs declaration...  :lol

Would expect no less from John - a true gentleman and a credit to the hobby from what I have seen, read and heard.  #*#

It's still barking, raving mad - I love it! (And I'm not a ST fan - so what's the 7 of 9 about?)  !@#
