0 N.O.S. Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Perhaps - as with all great restaurants - if the food's good, the surroundings don't matter in the slightest! :yay: Not being 'one of the most', what Bedford are you planning to get?

0 sirhc Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Why would you register it as a mobile project vehicle and limit yourself from doing what you like with it? I would get a good one with canvas, hoops and drop sides. Take these bits off and store them (it will be hard to find them should you want to in the future) and get a good box body to go on the back.
