well last week i was looking on ebay for a tap when i saw an ad for a box of taps. The ad was vague to say the least, it just said "Assorted engineering taps" , so i had a punt and won them for £6.50.

and this old skool sandwich box turned up.



And this is what was in it *happy*


I am not too sure what i will do with them all as i only need the UNF / metric / UNC taps i may just put them back on ebay.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Near Paris - France

Just heard from a fellow worker that on of his relationship in the coins collector world found a hundred medals and coins in a townhall garbage can.

Turned out 2 of those were gold and several were silver and the lot was worth in the region of 5K euros.

People just binned them !

And once a guy was willing to sell me "the part that holds the plugs" for 30 euros and some cheaky f.cker who came in later bought it from him for the average price wich is 120 ...
