Well they don't have to be antiques. You could still post your oldest "Old Faithful" if you wanted to.

In my case this one only has about 2 hours on it, I never use it and never will. Its not my favorite, just the oldest. I bet others out there have some real LULU's.

Karl you gave all yours away. You big Lug.

I need a moderator. Bugar the topic got RE stuck in front of it somehow and my first two messages were actually 1 entire message that I tried to modify. The pics were in the first message. I don't know how I screwed up but I managed! It's okay as it is but if I had the option I would take the RE stuff out and merge the first two messages.
