Hi everyone, I made it through the Pleasanton games without breaking a single wire (won't say that I didn't spend the entire day tuning, though....). There ...
The discussion about humid heat rings a bell with my own experience this summer. (For those not in UK it can even get hot here too!) Perhaps it's 'cos my...
