An admirable collection!

 

But what is the purpose of showing it? Exclusivity? Through the ownership of mass-produced objects?

 

Cost? In this day of inexpensive credit?

 

Prestige? What could that be about?

 

While I'm not part of the 'It's just a tool' crowd, and would love to have a new ALC MP myself (if only for the frame lines), I've often wondered about such gear displays. What they mean, in some deeper sense.

 

Respectfully,

Relax, or else I`ll show my collection.:p

Now for the MP love, you have to have handled one to appreciate the difference to anything else, it`s that simple.

Traveling with an MP through Manchester and Ireland for the week, and taking in a couple games at Old Trafford.

I notice that the newspaper headline is about Shinji Kagawa scoring a hat-trick for Manchester United. One of the headlines I saw read "Kagawa-bunga, Dude":o

 

Nice MP and if you're stopping in London and would like to meet up with some forum members let us know.
