    Can't seem to kill P1118 and/or P1117...

    Intro and help me shop and fulfill my irrational desire for a Disco

    OK, so I am finally now seriously in a position and ready to take the plunge and what has the reputation of being a horrible piece of junk. I don't care. I have been in lust with these darn things since I saw the first pieces on the Camel Trophy (I suspect I'm not the only one) back in the...
