Nah, your thinking of thinga-ma-bobber!!!

Great find. Enjoy, there's a bit of blood sweat and tears ahead with the resto, but well worth it.

Well done mate. Worth every penny of $400. The best thing is that it is Mandarin red. You can't beat a Torry in that colour!

Absolutely right. There's only one thing that's better than Manderin Red and that's Mint Julep, lol

What, L31 mock? That seems like a bit of a shame; you don't see many un-spoit (excuse the spoiler pun) SL/Rs around.
