Sad news from London
« on: June 13, 2013, 08:18:31 PM »
The 2nd bestest shop in London is closing down  Banghead



Brilliant place right across Regent street from the bestest shop and they have serious real stuff on display there, some you can buy.

But I guess it was always full of gawpers like us so it's closing  cry:

Clouds and silver linings though.  Mrs K now has a pair of Ferrari shoes at a knockdown £30  eeek:  What's not to like at that?


Well, whatever, nevermind

Oh noes that's was doing stonkingly well today. 

Wonderful place for kids of all ages like early 60 years old ones  redface: redface: redface:

But I'll miss gawping at those bits of F1 engines you could buy for silly prices.  You look at the pistons and you think "that's not like mine, how on earth down that work?" and then you think "only if they made it really precise out of the toughest of toughest material in perfect single crystal form

Which is of course how they must do it

So seems I've got a week to find £400 to go back and get that piston, not going to happen
Well, whatever, nevermind
