A little note on the providence of your 'new' parts:
- It was an ABS fault that brought about the tank-slapper I had when putting it into Armaco, I'm pretty certain Bilko replaced the ABS module.
- The RNS-E was actually transparented from Darth.
No matter where you go, there you are.

No. I'm in Chicago, not sure what that makes me.

EDIT: I've thought about it, I'm an Australian in Illinois and that somehow makes me French Polynesian?

...and yes, Shop, fucken confused.
