Theres factorys out there that will machine / engrave "Im a hairy faggot" on the side if you want....

Hmmm thinking of a new marketing angle.......

Post by: wigit on February 27, 2011, 09:25:15 pm: I think on FB Martyn's comments he had been testing them for 6 months gave it away give he has black VWRs

The branding is a bit vulgar IMHO
