Does anyone know other than being made of titanium is it any better than the billet bridge version?

Both Atmistique and Ohman make very high quality stuff. I can't see you going wrong with either.

Deal! :thumb:

I could do with some moral support, never been abroad or even on a plane, the thought of being that far from home for 2 weeks kind of freaks me out a bit LOL

honestly though, I'm most worried about leaving my hairy son Norman with my brother for 2 weeks, he is a daddys boy and is going to create hell, never left him before!

I'm thinking that knowing a billet box is sat waiting at the hotel will pursuade me to set foot on that flying death trap of an aeroplane :w00t:

Cheers, I might aswell bag them all at atmistique at the same time then, don't want to hang on for the ohman only to find the day the BB's in stock they aren't and I'm left with a nice bb but nothing to vape with it!

You'll feel much safer on a plane after experiencing some of the drivers in our great state of Florida.

The "driverless cars" are always particularly entertaining. Keep an eye out for 'em. :lol:

I'm SO going to pay for that one. :blush:

wahoooooooooooo I'm goin back to Florida!!! hehehe I know lots of people all over the state so whatever part we're goin, I prolly know someone there or close to there. Just hope we're goin near a beach.

I'm really good at moral supportin! Take offs are a blast!! Other than take off and landing, ya don't even know yur flyin really. Well, unless we hit turbulence, but if that happens, I'll hold yur hand hehehe

Hope Norman isn't a cow. Hope you saw the movie city slickers, or that won't make any sense.

Plan on renting a car so I'll experience it first hand, thanks for adding that worry to my list! :p

As a fearless teenager I went up in a 2 man glider, that was intense but one of the most amazing things I have ever done, I really shouldn't be as worried as I am about a flying machine with comfy seats and actual engines keeping it in the sky LOL now I have some moral support, I'm set :thumbs:

HAHA!!! I forgot all about city slickers :lol: I always wondered where the name Norman came from maybe I subconsciously named him after a cow!

Norman is not a cow but he is slowly getting to the size of one, well he feels like it when he is dragging me on a lead! He is a Rottweiler, I read they are really popular in the states, in the UK people cross the road to avoid him, Rotties get a real bad name over here. He is, like Winston my Rottie before him, a big intelligent teddy bear! :)

Most Rotties are if they've been raised and treated right. And so long as no one goes in their yard that they don't know. They are very protective of their people and property. I love Rotties. They are fairly popular, but it's really hard to get homeowner's ins if you have one. They're on the list of "no no" dogs. Forget what you actually call the list. lol

we have what they call a "select breed list" in the UK, this really just means they can charge you quadruple on vet insurance, I have never come across it affecting home insurance though, I guess that rule will be copied over here eventually though!

Yes Winston was very protective like that, Norman on the other hand luckily has no idea there is any bad in the world bless him, he thinks everyone is his best friend, even other dogs snapping and snarling in his face he thinks they want to play. He is a real dopey git but I wouldn't change him!

They banned docking tails in the UK and Norman having this huge wagging tail does help with people approaching him i'm sure. I do miss winstons little stump though, creased me up when he was wagging it crazily, took some getting used to seeing a Rottie with a tail but I really love it now.

Just an FYI:

From what I been told and understand from different "Friends" & "Family" Members who travel back & forth between the UK & USA . . .

Once Ya' get through all the security . . .

Crossing the pond can be very exciting and FUN in so many ways, especially depending on when Ya' are planning to come (It's very Hot/Humid & Hurricane Season currently) . . .
smiley-1111.gif
The type plane Ya' are flying in . . .
pilot2.gif
(or not
fly-in-smiley.gif
) . . . and most important, where 'You" are sitting on the plane . . .

Better yet, how nice and even personal the Flight Attendants are that Ya' got flying with "You" . . .

Oh - Yea . . . Besides @DPLongo22 & @Debadoo heads up, I probably should also mentioned to "You" that sometimes "My" prefered mode of travel around here in South Florida is . . .
smiley-driving-jeep.gif


AND - Not just for the "Driverless Cars" . . .
old-lady-driving-smiley-emoticon.gif


There are the people who are driving either 20 miles an hour or even 95 miles an hour in a 65 Mile hour zone on a major highway - like our Interstate 95 . . . Those visiting from another Country that drive on the wrong side of the road and forget where they are (BTW: Which is not just a visitor's thing) . . . ;) AND - WORSE ARE THE PEOPLE (especially those with more the expensive vehicles) who believe the roadways are just for them and do not have to obey the laws - let alone have any sense of common courtesy when driving . . .
carrace.gif
Like not signaling before crossing 2/3 or more lanes on roadways/highways . . .
Smiley21-1.gif
, are using cellphones/texting while driving . . .
gah.gif
, and/or really shouldn't have even been allowed to have gotten a driver's licence to begin with . . .

So - I hope Ya' have a Very Comfortable and Safe Trip here for "Your" Holiday . . .
avatar85_6.gif




OH YEA - BTW:
If by any chance, something comes up and/or "You" change 'Your" mind about coming to Florida - Let me know . . . Since I live here, I'll make sure to find that "BB" a very good home for Ya' . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Actually the highways (I've been on I-4 too - where Bikers & "Mickey" rules ;) ) and most roadways are all that bad down here in Florida (although I-75/Alligator Alley through the everglades is not too bad

) . . .

So - YES "You" were lucky . . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

I have friends that live in FL that refer to them as "Q-tips"! :lol: Referring to the bit of white fluff you MIGHT be able to see! :)

Yup, when I moved here, I was honest with the first 4 insurance companies, and they all told me they couldn't even add a rider to a policy to cover me if I had a Rottie. :( So the next one, I only told them about my Lab, and they were fine with her! It was right about the time that the little boy had stuck his arm through the neighbor's fence and had a Rottie tear him up. :cry: I totally blame the parents on that one. :glare: We had a neighbor when my boys were little that had a mean dog ( just a mutt), and they were NEVER left in the yard unsupervised.
