Are you kidding me? That’s astonishing. These English are unbelievable.

Holy swiss cheese! That is a stunning transformation!

I’ve been watching this over on the 7/8th forum…really cool, full function and detail!

While watching Peaky Binders I keep seeing this!

That is amazing work!! I have debated getting one of these in the past and Americanizing one, something similar to a 40 short boiler case or small Advance Rumely, but never did. Kicking myself for not grabbing one for $75 a few years back(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-yell.gif)
