This is handy to know ;)

Any of you wonderfull guys know if theres any Sprint stuff still laying around ???? hehehehe

Theres a few things Im after for my baby & the local place up here doesnt seem to like me .........( Other Half thinks it might have something to do with the fact that I told them that they needed a woman in there so logic would prevail :P ( The bird who was doing the data entry behind him thought it was funny ... cant see why he didnt )

Hey, I can access the forums again!

What I wanted to know was if someone can find the BIG tickford badge from an FBT's engine cover in stock anywhere in Australia...

Fairly sure that the FBT ones were a specific part, different from the later ones...
