    What to do? Private sellers, dealers, importing?

    BacollisMum, I think the problem is I've managed to find the people *claiming* to have what I'm looking for. Unfortunately I have turned up to suspicious 8 year gaps in their history and no registered name (on an imported WB), the 'very occasional' bucker bucking 9 times in 25 minutes... :o...

    I Hate My Life What Is The Point Of It All
