I totally disagree with that on both counts too. If 80's music was that bad how comes it still lives on in so many ways today?

I wasn't born until 76 so the 80s for me were all about HE MAN and my ATARI 2600

I was born a year after Brian in 1970. A pogo stick and an old tyre was all I ever got.

When I find a suitable 75, my 414 SLI with 25,000 miles will be up for sale. Judging by all the billing and cooing over the old motors, I should do alright then?????



Offers welcome in advance!!!!
