Hey U.K dubbers!

I see that all the Americans seem to be getting all the fun with barnfinds! :evil: Whether it be found in a barn, or a scrap yard, or a field etc. But I have never in all my years found such a thing in the U.K. And I am ALWAYS looking! Anyone else had such luck?

Peace out

That name "oorwullie" sounds very Flemisch (Belgian dialect).
Are you a real Swiss one?
