I hope meet all of you in Millau, could be terrific, at least I know is possible that Txemitku and Trilospain will go there, sure Antonio, Alopias, David and me, perhaps Patarradio and more RB, we are waiting you, http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
