I'm not sure it may still be a bright idea due to them being slightly heavy now there's loads of lightweight vacs around etc for example but just a suggestion

MVacs, Did that Silver/Lime 04 sell you made that was pretty much 100% new

So I decided to keep it for our museum. The longer it sits there the rarer it gets - like money in the bank........On the left here:
Love the DC04's definitely my favourite,
Damn, so it's not for sale anymore? I'm interested BTW, just need to save up
