craggsy 91 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I can understand his reasons why personally. Not that I'm happy he's selling up it's his choice.As Ben says work is the priority now. And he has no where to store the car.I dont think Ben will leave us tho Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 well Just read through all this and was going to go mad at you then worried for you and now understanding you, Hopefully you have thought this through enough, but dont do anything to rash. And although you may not have a vr there is nothing to stop you being on the forum as we are all friends not just vr enthusiastes (bad spelling). Plus if you have plans to get a vr of some sort in the future it will be good to keep ya finger on the pulse you bloody BGB Link to post Share on other sites
