Simms Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thats a beast! Make sure you post your first light experiences on here (which may be a while yet if the weather forecast for the next week is anything to go by). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 justify it to the wife by saying it cost half the amount you actually paid for it, and if i ever sell it my love i`ll get all my money back, seems to work with my wife, just bought a megrez 72 in a case, she noticed the case, asked how much, i told her it was empty, she called me a liar and went shopping with her mother, so i think i got away with it !

bish Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Don't worry about the wife. The ear bashing will be worth it. Or as above, just say it cost a lot less than it did - she wont have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ags Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm sure once your partner looks through it they will realize how worthwhile the expense is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
