SkydiveMonkey 0 #1 April 4, 2002 I'm getting so frustrated that it hasn't arrived yet !! I want my rig !! It'll be cool when it does get here though When you participate in sporting events, its not whether you win or loose, its how drunk you get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbunky 3 #2 April 4, 2002 i've been wondering where mine is as well, then i remembered that i can't afford one, and didn't order one... maybe that's why it hasn't arrived yet. nothing succeeds like a budgie with no teeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 April 4, 2002 It's probably just taking a bit longer cos of the bank holiday. I need it to arrive so I can go home, cos I'm stuck in uni waiting for it.

crazymel 0 #4 April 4, 2002 I feel your pain!!!! Just got an e-mail from my supplier - she received my container (Mirage), Cypres and Reserve, but the main (Sabre2) is only gonna get there in like 3 more weeks. Then I need to ship it out here, which will probably be like another week, and then I'm gonna have to give it to the rigger over here to make sure nothing got damaged in the transport process....But then WHOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! Life is for the LIVING!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E150 0 #7 April 4, 2002 Atom legend - as my mate right said, it was a feekin myth for a long while.

It's already on it's way, has been for a while. Should have been here tuesday, but I'm still waiting. When you participate in sporting events, its not whether you win or loose, its how drunk you get.

You see some Vectors, but not many. A few Racers, but again not many. Some Vortex.there are some Next (German, so I bet there would be more in germany..
