Man.... THAT is brilliant.

LOVE the rad T/A's..... very 70's

Where did you get an Imp from??

Any history to it??


Empi Imp - June 4th, 2006 at 11:22 AM

Got it from the Philippines (imported 4 Imps by a known politician's son back in the 70s)...It's still there and someday I'll bring the Imp here in Perth.:bounce

Anything to do with $$$$ and the Philipines HAD to be linked to him :P


"Any history to it??"

Haha...no free shoes from the mother...all in the closet...preserved

We are still hunting the "others"...no information yet.
I still need to find the Original badge though.. someone at the samba site is selling a badge for $125.
