bloody hell Si that is big lol, I thought it was tiny loadsa room for some led's

northerner - 2013-06-23 12:06

Nope its a big bugger...took me ages to get out of the car boot coz people kept stopping me to ask me about it...gonna investigate its value as there's a real market for robots especially old ones (so google told me!) and either repair it and sell it if its worth dosh or mod the hell out of it if its not lol. Looks pretty cool sitting with my boxes
