Hollowdweller, Seems that you have an enviable living location and lifestyle. Years ago I spent a lot of time in some rural areas of your homestate enjoying some of what I perceived to be the finer things of life. However, there were no switchblades involved. Had I owned some switches, it would have...

The SKM site has a state-by-state breakdown in their Q & A (or whatever it is called) section.

Tessa3,

I don't know who will win but I certainly doubt that it will be the USA. Soccer is steadily gaining popularity in the USA, but it comes nowhere close to having the support it does in Merry Olde. One good thing, I just learned that my son's soccer coach for next season is from the UK!

Yes, Rocc, leverlocks are much more functional than stilettos. Yes, Vini, stilettos are MUCH prettier. My daily carry is now a seigfreid leverlock, a rare and valuable SKM/Vagrant Knives model.

Vagrant, You drive a rare car, at least in 2002 it is rare. I have no idea about you and fast women. If not quoted in the press, you are at least quoted by saltwater fishermen from Md. to Fla., and beyond. As far as politics goes, the state to the south of you needs politicians like you, but probabl...

As a kid in the 60's, switchblades were the proverbial forbidden fruit. I had knives, even some fake switchblades, but never a real one. On very rare occasions I would get an opportunity to hold and fire a real one. Through the years I had always wanted a real switchblade but never managed to acquir...

Brenster, Actually the reference (at least mine) was to both cars and motorcycles. Lucas electric components terrorized both 2 and 4 wheeled motor vehicles. In case you're interested, many of the members have an interest in classic cars and motorcycles, as well as switchblades. Bonz mentioned his mo...

Brenster, It was a little humor on Vagrant's part. Many of us on the forum are of the age where we knew 60's - 70's era Triumphs, MGs, Austin Healeys, Jaguars, BSAs, Norton's etc. These were (and still are) considered highly desirable in the USA. I would love to own a TR6 someday. I'm not sure of yo...

1. Vagrant - From what I know about the members, this is one forum where most are old enough to appreciate your Lucas joke, I know I did.

2. It is good to see that the California members brought their humor over to this forum.
