John
10 months ago I was like you. I had a very good porty, a Scorpion, and knew how well it performed.
I had no interest in a TM, in fact at the CCDO last year John Kelly had a 15hp Prowler to play with and I must have been one of only a few that did not bother - no interest at all.
Then there was a huge debat on here, Simon Gerrard inparticularly was at the forefront, about why porty users dont go over to TM. Went on for days and quiet verbal as well many will remember.
It was then I decided to listen to these very experianced TMers like Simon, Shaun, Steve Gunn, Len Gribble, Paul Moss and many others - and I went and got a 2nd hand one. Didnt cost me a fortune, less then £2500 set up.
What a difference there is between a top porty and lower end TM, and their should be because there is a price difference too.
Are you in Leeds area John?
Well either go to Sheffield and have a look at Shauns
or wait till Mark Powell has got his (presume its imminent Mark)
or even come to Warrington (its only an hour) and have a go with my Prowler.
You will be well impressed.
Clinton was impressed a few weeks ago.
So was Mike Osbourne last Thursday when he collected his machine off me - and he had bought it and paid for it without ever seeing it work!
