A good read and a cold one….plus more RFM Panther..
So buying books has become more expensive as of late, I suppose specialty books always have been more spendy than a mainstream top seller, but still, ebay what the first Dual in the Mist goes for these days! The last time I spent upwards [...]
Clearly RFM didn’t intend this…..
